My husband mentioned 'talaq,talaq,talaq' in an argument. He now claims that he mentioned it 2 times and mispronounced the 3rd time and he still wants me as his wife. Can i go back after iddath?
Question
We both want this marriage. Is there any way of getting back together? We have no children.
Answer
Mispronouncing the Talaaq does not invalidate the Talaaq. The third mispronounced Talaaq by your husband is valid.
Your Nikah with him has irrevocably broken down. You cannot live together as husband and wife.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

What the Darul Iftas sayDo three talaqs in one sitting count as three?
“The law of shariah is that once the husband issues three divorces, the nikaah totally terminates and there is no way for the husband to reconcile. Both husband and wife become haraam for each other.”
