Question

If a husband gives his wife 3 talaaqs while she has her period, is it valid?

Answer

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

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

If the husband has given his wife three Talaaqs during her menses, it will constitute three divorces (Talaaq-e-Mughalladah). It is not permissible for the couples to live together as they are no longer husband and wife. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

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.”
