Revoking a talaaq within the iddat period

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2022-07-23 07:42

Q: I am currently in iddat after my husband gave me 1 divorce (19/05/22).

He is messaging me that he wants a ruju but the Mufti Saheb I spoke to from our sharia council said that a ruju will not take place like this and I should just continue observing my iddat.

I feel that the Mufti Saheb knows our matters in detail hence this is why he prefers for me to just complete the iddat period.

I just want to know whether I should continue my iddat or just stop as my husband has said that he wants ruju over a text message?

A: If he had issued one talaaq (revocable divorce), then he has the right to make rujoo as long as the iddat period remains.

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