Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If your husband issued you a talaq-e-baain (an irrevocable divorce), and your’ll wish to reconcile, then it is necessary to have a re-performance of the Nikah.

If your husband issued you a talaq-e-raji (a revocable divorce) and your’ll wish to reconcile with the iddat period of three menses, then there is no need to renew the Nikah. If the iddat terminated, then the Nikah has to be renewed even if the iddat elapsed only by three days.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
