Living together after three talaaqs

· 9 Shaʻban 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

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?

Answer

When the husband has divorced her then he must not be with her at all.

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

Do 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.”
