Revoking the Talaaq

Revoking a talaaq

Q: I asked my husband for a divorce and he wrote it down on a piece of paper for me but did not want to divorce me and now we have gone back together again. Is this permissible as he says someone told him he can take me back within the 3 months period. What to do?

Issuing a talaaq for legal reasons

Q: My sister got married and after few months her husband ran away to a neighbouring country for some political reason. She was pregnant and got a baby. After two years waiting, he couldn't come back but the only way was she has to follow him. But because she is the wife of that man, the country's law doesn't allow her to leave anywhere unless she is divorced from him so they made an agreement and he sent her a divorce letter. The question is, is their marriage accepted or not?

Revoking a talaaq without the wife's consent

Q: Two weeks ago a Shariah court issued a talaq raji. We continued to live in the same house and bed. Last night my husband forced me to have intercourse with him despite my objections and plea not to. He is physically stronger than me so I could not stop him. I am currently under iddah. Are we still divorced or does the sexual act automatically reinstate our marriage even though I didn't agree to it?

Intercourse during iddat

Q: My husband gave me one talaaq a week ago but now it just so happened that we had intercourse again. I want to know is the talaaq still valid and if we are still divorced because he said that sleeping together after the talaaq does not mean we are married again.

Reconciling after two talaaqs

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

Revoking a talaaq

Q: I have said to my wife on telephone call "that I divorce you". This is the first time I said this.

1: Can I take back my divorce without intercourse as she is in a different country and we cant meet now? So can I take back verbally only?

2: My wife is a doctor, so during iddat can she work as a Doctor in her country?

3: Me and wife live in seperate countries so can she do her iddat in her own country or is it necessary that she lives with me during iddat?
