Q: My wife and I have been separated for a year now, however in the start of 2024 we had a fight about my behaviour as I was battling drug addiction and my mental health was in question. During this fight I said talaaq 3 times and under the influence of drugs and not knowing the facts about Islam I said talaq 3 times.
My wife forgave me after and we continued having a physical relationship. I love my wife and I am a revert into Islam as I wanted us to have stability and live according to the codes and morals of Islam.
My wife is not a bad person. She just wants the best for me. I wish to sort my marriage out and seek assistance in becoming a better Muslim, a better husband and father.
A: The talaaqs issued in the state of intoxication are valid. Hence, the three talaaqs which you gave your wife were valid and your nikaah has terminated.
After issuing three talaaqs, it was haraam for you both to continue living together as husband and wife.
Therefore, you and your ex wife should sincerely repent and make tawbah for living together in haraam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
