Q: Is the first talaq considered void if rujoo is done afterwards and the gap between the second talaq is 28 year. Someone told me there is a fatwa that if the second divorce is given after 25 years of the first one, then the first divorce is void?

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2013-10-06 06:11

Q: My question is my husband gave me a first talaq in 2005. We lived in ... for 8 years after that. He asked me to go back to Pakistan to live with my parents after a conflict. He gave me a second talaq via a text message while he was in ... and I was in .... At the same time he sent me an email with a 'conditional talaq notice' stating that he is giving me 2 talaqs on the condition if I come back to ... from ... and they will become valid and that first talaq of 2005, three talaaqs will happen and I will become na mahram for him. I stayed back in ...,then he sent me an email before 90 days, which was the iddat period for the second talaq he gave me earlier via text message, stating that he wants to make rajoo' with me and wants to take me back in his nikaah. After that the 2 conditional talaaqs are still there. My husband is still in ... and I am in ... Is that conditional talaq going to effect my present nikaah in any way like making it makrooh or do I need to do any thing about it so that it does not effect our nikaah?

Reconciling after two talaaqs

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2013-10-02 15:50

Q: I wanted to know where I stand in my situation. Basically, I have given my wife first divorce in January. After that, we had ruju' done and lived fine and happy for 6 months. But again, major issues were brought up and she went back to her mothers home. It has been three months with no contact and in that time, I signed a divorce paper witnessed by a solicitor which clearly states I divorce her. This was not given to her, but am I right to assume, because my intentions are involved, it is classed as the 2nd divorce?

Now, someone is trying to mend the relationship, but it has been over 2 month since this 2nd divorce. I am confused because some one has said, that between the 2nd and 3rd, even if you don't give a divorce, if the period of ruju' is over, it automatically nullifies the marriage. is this true? Or are we still in nikaah?

Giving two talaaqs over the phone

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2013-10-02 15:29

Q: I got married (only nikkah) 9 years ago (rukhsati and proper marriage function was done after 4 years). Me and my wife had some strong arguments over some thing after nikaah and I got hyper and to scare my wife I gave her 2 talaaqs like this I give you divorce, I give you divorce over a telephonic discussion and after the 2nd time I uttered the word of divorce she disconnected the phone. And that's what I wanted.

1. Before uttering the word divorce I kept quite and prayed to Allah Almighty that " Ya Allah I am not going to give my wife divorce and you are the only witness to this thought that I don't mean it. Actually this word which I am going to speak doesn't mean anything please accept my apology". Then after thinking this I spoke to my wife the word of divorce and by speaking the word I started speaking the word in my mind that I am not giving my wife divorce. After she disconnected the phone I called her back after some time like after an hour and apologised to her in a way "I am sorry please listen carefully I haven't given you divorce because I promised Allah that I am not giving divorce and uttered divorce so there is no divorce. Thats what happened 5 years ago I guess. Now one day I heard and came to know my divorced took place.

2.Tell me weather my divorced happened or not? If it happened then what I have to do now? 

3. If my divorced happened, then I think after 2 talaaqs I could take my wife back. Was the way I mentioned to take back correct or do I have to remarry her again. One important thing I need to mention here although after nikaah we had no sexual relationship but we were together alone in room a lot of time but we opted not to have sex because we had social fear of having a baby before rukhsati. Please advise. 

Does signing legal divorce documents constitute talaaq

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2013-10-01 16:32

Q: I am a married woman. I was involved with a married man when I was still staying with my husband. I committed zina with him. Me and my husband are separated for 1 year 8 months now. My husband sent me a signed legal document for divorce in which I also signed and accepted the divorce. Our case was called 4 months back and that was when we were legally divorced in the family court. We are no more in contact with each other. Just yesterday my mum called my husband to give me talaaq, but he didn't say anything about it. He didn't say that he is giving me talaaq. I have also asked him several times to give me talaaq but he doesn't. in this situation can I perform nikah again with whom I want to marry? I have heard that there is no iddat period after committing zina. Please tell me if iddat period is farz on me? and for how long?

Talaaq situation

Q: My husband gave me a talaaq a few years ago. He sent me to live in Pakistan and gave me a conditional talaaq notice of 2 remaining talaaqs via email that if I come back to UK to him they will become valid. Is there any way I can go back to UK but still the talaaqs will not be valid or if they become valid if I go back to UK without his permission, do I need to do something about it while I stay back in Pakistan? Please help in the light of your knowledge.
