Talaaq

Wife having the right to see her children after divorce

Q:

1. My husband and I have been separated since 25 April 2019. I am currently living with my sister and her family. I left my home because my husband abused me badly, this is not the first time that he had lifted his hands. I stayed in the marriage for 5 years whereby I went through physical and verbal abuse to the extent that I was even scared to ask to go and see my 2 boys from my previous marriage. He has a very bad temper, thinks that my family is influencing me and swears my family. I have been supporting him all these years and still am to keep a roof over his head.

In the last 2 months I have spent time with my boys more than I ever did in the 5 years of being married to my current husband. I would like to know my rights as still being married going to see my children as they live with their father? I know that their father is now a non-mahram to me.

2. My current husband does not want to give me my talaaqs. He is prepared to only give one and take his time with the others. I feel so stuck and torn between my family, my boys and my current husband. I dont know what to do. I want to do the things the proper way.

Husband telling wife "Pack your bags and leave"

Q: I would like to enquire about the validity of my nikaah. My husband and I are experiencing marital difficulties and he has asked me to pack my bags and leave twice this month.

I heard the fact that he asked me to pack my bags and leave even once, it counts as divorce and nikaah needs to be made again after iddah period. Please advise if the nikaah is now invalid.

Reconciling after three talaaqs

Q: Five years ago, me and my husband were having problems in our marriage, so I asked for a third talaaq and he sent it to me via a text message. He said that he didn't do it from his heart. We are both still single and we haven't been married to anyone else, we both still love eachother. I want to know the ruling in this matter, what is the proceedure or was our divorce invalid?

Telling one's wife "Get out of my life"

Q: Me and my wife have been married for two years now. We fight often because we both have anger issues but at the same time we love each other alot. One day, the fight was so extreme that my wife started screaming and she said "I need divorce". She was out of her mind. Now she says that she doesn't remember what happened to her and she swear to Allah that she never meant it. When she said it, I got angry. After a few minutes of talking, I also lost my temper and just angrily said, "Get out of my life" but I also swear to Allah that I never meant it. I was only saying this out of frustration but never ever meant it.

Is it talaaq-e-kinayaa because we both never meant what we said and we can put our hands on the Quran and say it. The next day I told her that I take all my words back, you are my wife and I love you. She did the same and then we hugged each other and had physical relation as well. 

Telling one's wife, "get out, get lost" etc.

Q:

1. Sometimes my wife comes to me and asks me about doing something. I reply to her "jo dil chahe karo", Is say it sometimes to show my anger, and sometimes just to tell her that she can do it or not. I never used the word "free" or "azad" or "farigh" and never intended divorce. Additionally, we both originate from same city and same neighborhoods, and we both don't understand "jo dil chahe karo" is not considered exclusive term for divorce.

2. During a fight I used the words such as dafa hojao "get lost", "buy ticket and leave", "get out" etc. and never once intended divorce.
