Withdrawing 3 talaaqs

Question

Please advise as to talaaq given out of anger, can I withdraw all 3 talaaqs given via text?

Answer

You cannot withdraw the talaaq. Once the talaaq is issued, even if it is issued in the state of anger, it takes place. Hence, all three talaaqs are valid and the nikaah has terminated. You both are now haraam for each other.

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

“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.”
