Three Talaaqs

Three talaaqs in one sitting

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.

Living together after three talaaqs

Q: One of my neighbours has given divorce to his wife by saying talaaq three times in three different places. The wife is living with him. In any case, she has three kids and her husband has given her property also. Her mother in law n brother in law are on his side. So what was the punishment by Allah for them and what can the husband do?

Three written talaaqs

Q: I want to query about talaaq. Please tell me that a written talaq is declared if written 3 times on paper at once? I mean is it considered as 1 or 3 if written at same time but written talaq talaq talaq at once? Please elaborate.

Talaaqs in the state of intoxication

Q: I gave talaaq to my wife. I was drunk. Is it valid? After reading triple talaq" or pronouncing divorce three times in one sitting, is invalid Islamically and should be considered as one divorce only. Therefore this would be counted as one declaration of divorce by your husband. So you are still married. I am a bit worried because I cant remember anything. Please do let me know its urgent.

Three talaaqs

Q: If husband and wife after nikaah and before rukhsati go out for just a drive and don't have some sexual relation, in that case the husband give three talaqs to his wife? So now can he get her as his wife again without halaala? And also if the husband has this thinking in mind that tajdeed-e-nikah will be obviously done before rukhsati that's why he didn't have that fear of talaaq and also he had wanted to pressurizee the wife, he just didn't mean that?

Remining in contact after three talaaqs

Q: I gave my wife 3 talaaqs 9 years ago. We have two daughters who were 2 and 4 years at the time. First talaaq was given while my in laws were living with us. We got into a very bad argument (screaming and shouting) and I wanted to leave the house but my father in law insisted that I give her talaaq. Unfortunately I did not know much about rules of talaaq back then.We were apart for 6-7 months but reconciled and made nikkah again. At this time my then wife was looking after and supporting her parents as they were out of work, which put a lot of strain on our relationship. We had another disagreement a few months later and I consequently issued her with another talaaq and while issuing her with the second one she insisted that I give her a third talaaq. My wife was a very stubborn woman and while I am not short tempered if I do get angry I "snap". At this stage I became so enraged that I issued her with the third and final talaaq. The third talaaq was issued out of pure rage and this is something that I regret to this day. As stated before it is now 9 years later and neither myself or she has been with anyone else. For the past 9 years it seems as if we have have grown closer to one another (without her parents involvement as they have moved to Cape Town). I would like to know if there is any chance that we can reconcile and get married again? A few days ago she confessed that she still loves me and I in turn also confessed that I still love her. At the time I did not know the implications or conditions of talaaq and have asked Allah for forgiveness as I realize what I did was wrong.

Halaala

Q: As per law of Shariah, divorce happened between me and my husband as he said talaaq thrice. Now he wants me back. What is the proper way of halaala?
