Question

If one utters talaq once will this end the marriage or is it necessary to utter talaq three times?

Answer

If one utters an explicit Talaaq, a ‘Talaaq-e-Raj’ee’ (revocable divorce) takes place. He may take her back during the iddah period. Once the iddah expires without him taking her back, the Nikah has terminated and he may not take her back without a renewal of the Nikah. Therefore, to answer your question, this type of Talaaq does not terminate the Nikah immediately.

“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.”
