Manner of revoking a talaaq

Q: Does a first talaaq have to be revoked by sex or can a husband say I take you back into my nikkah?

A: By the husband merely saying to the wife in the iddat period "I have taken you back", the rujoo (retraction) will take place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
