Question

What proof is there from the Quran and Hadith with regards to issuing 3 Talaaqs?

Answer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If a person issues his wife three divorces in one sitting or three divorces in separate sittings, that will constitute three divorces which will terminate the marriage irrevocably (talaq-e-mughallazah). It is interesting to note that this is also the view of Imam Bukhari Rahimahullah. You may refer to our research on the issue on the following link.

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.”
