Talaaq

Q: A guy and a girl got married. They had an arguments and then girl left the house of guy and stayed at her parents home from June 10th 2016 to Jan 23rd 2017 during this period the guy never pronounce a divorce "Not even single time" The Girl stayed at parents house for more than 6 months and there's a person who said that according to Islam if you stayed away from your husband for more than 6 months without any Sharai reason then you are no longer in Nikkah with that guy. (who said not sure, on what grounds not sure) Need clarification on this as well. The Guy sent Divorce deed on 23rd January 2017 that has clearly mentioned divorce Thrice upon that girl, the guy who sent divorce deed was planning to end the marriage because of girl's parents demand. Now, the concern is. If 6 months were already passed while girl stayed away from here husband. Then she was no longer in Nikkah of that guy and so does divorce occurred? IF YES then how? IF NO then why?

Q: My husband and I had an argument. He told me that he does not want me anymore. So I said that he must orally say he gives me three talaqs. He did not want to say it and I persisted and eventually he said it. Can we reconcile or what must we do?

Q: I got married at the age of 16 to a guy I didn't like. As i was still young, my parents decided that I would stay at my parents place and they will do my ruksati at the age of 20. I never stayed with my husband nor had any physical relationship with him. Meanwhile I fell in love with another guy and engaged in some sexual activities but I haven't done Zina. In 2015 I divorced my husband because I had no feelings for him and broke up with the other guy too. I know I have made such a big sin and repent all day and night. I want to do a fresh start, what should I do? And I want to get married again but getting no good suitor plz suggest me some dua.

Q: My husband and I have been married for 15 years, we have two children. About 7 years into our marriage i discovered that he was not being faithful and was seeing a woman. At the time I decided to carry on with our marriage dispite of this. For the sake of my children. However his affairs continued one after the other. He would apologise and I would carry on, again for the sake of our children. About two years ago I could no longer accept what he was doing and he made me feel impure. So I no longer allowed him in my bed. From that day till last night he has not mentioned or discussed why I won't let him sleep with me. Last night he told me he wanted to be with someone else and he couldn't live like this anymore. Fair enough. He said he will be looking for another partner to marry, he said he will have to talk to other women and court them to find the one he wants to marry. I said to him that this is harram as he is married to me. He can divorce me and then be with whoever he wants to be with. He then divorced me once. My question is what is divorcing once mean? Am I no longer married to him? What should I do to ensure I follow the correct rulings in regards to divourse in Islam?

Q: I wanted to know if I file for divorce in the court in the West so if I sign and my wife signs and the court gives divorce and we become legally divorced. Does it mean we are divorced according to sharia too or court divorce does not affect the Islamic relation. And in case if it finishes our marriage relation by sharia. So then if we decide later to get back as wife and husband as in case we sort out what is the process by Islamic way.

Q: According to a report, Abdullah bin Abbas (radhiyallahu anhuma), a companion of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that triple talaq in one sitting was considered as only one talaq during the Prophet’s (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) time, the period of the first caliph Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) and during the early years of the second caliph Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) (Sahih Muslim, 1482).

Once Rukanah bin Yazid (radhiyallahu anhu), a companion of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), had divorced his wife thrice in one sitting. Regretting what he had done, he approached the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), who asked him how he had divorced his wife. Yazid answered that he had done so by pronouncing the word talaq thrice. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) asked him if he had pronounced it in a single sitting, to which he replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said that it had the effect of one divorce and that he could take his wife back.

Please explain the above how three talaqs in in sitting was known as one in the prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) time and now its taken as three. 

Q: Please assist me. I have been married for 9 years now but my husband left me for 2 years since June 2015 and has now decided to come back to me.

We were married for a couple of months when we had a huge argument and he issued me with two Talaaq notifications. To tell the truth I did'nt hear the Talaaq notification but my mom did. She was shocked and she then told me that he issued me with two Talaaq notifications. We continued to stay together like a normal married couple until May 2015 when I requested him to leave cause he was not working and he did not want to find a job and contribute to our living expenses. He has now advised me that he has a bakery that he is managing and he would like us to reconcile.

Please Mufti will you advise me on what needs to be done from an Islamic point of view. What is required from me. Do I need to observe Idatt cause I didn't think it was necessary as we stayed together even after he mentioned Talaaq twice. Your advise will be highly appreciated

Q: If a married couple is not happy, will the one who breaks the marriage get the sin?

Q: I have question about divorce in Islam.

Is it haram in Islam if a husband divorces his wife because they live in different country and he can't bring the wife due to visa reason? My husband studies in Australia, and we have problem about bringing me to Australia. We have been living separately for 1,5 year. He said to me that he will divorce me if my Australian visa get rejected. He prefers divorce to visiting me if I can't get the visa this year. I want to know if this reason can be used to divorce a wife according to Islam?

Q: After a serious fight between my parents and relatives and my inlaws, my husband was forced to give talaq to me while I was in a different city. He was told that I asked him for divorce. While I didnt know anything what was happening there. It was told by my parents to ask for divorce. My husband refused to give talaq for first four days then he just gave it forcefully when he was blackmailed by my uncle that he will bring some guys to beat him or from court he will do some fight process and second lie he told him that I cannot go to Saudia without having divorce papers it is necessary. My parents lives here in Saudi and they lied about this. With that fear of being beaten by those guys or for my sake that Ive asked for it so that I could go easily with my 8 months daughter, he signed the papers without even reading it without intentions. He just had a thought while signing that Allah you are watching it that I am not willing to give plz help me.. Then he signed and cried alot. In short, we both were lied to about each other. He didnt know this was happening and he didnt even want divorce and he was told that your wife is asking for it. On the other hand I was told that he gave you divorce by his will. Is this divorce valid?
