Manner of revoking a talaaq

· 25 Rabiʻ II 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Does a first talaaq have to be revoked by sex or can a husband say I take you back into my nikkah?

Answer

By the husband merely saying to the wife in the iddat period "I have taken you back", the rujoo (retraction) will take place.

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