Reconciling after talaaq

· 5 Rajab 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What are the conditions of a divorced couple reconciling or remarrying each other? Is this a possibility?

Answer

If the husband had issued one or two revocable talaaqs and the wife's iddat had terminated, if both wish to reunite, it will be permissible provided a new nikah is performed with a separate mahr. If the husband had issued three talaaqs, it will not be possible for both to reunite unless halaala takes place.

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