I wanted to know the difference between saying "teen talaaq" and "talaaq, talaaq, talaaq". Does it imply the same in both cases?

Question

I wanted to know the difference between saying "teen talaaq" and "talaaq, talaaq, talaaq". Does it imply the same in both cases?

Answer

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

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

“Teen talaq” in urdu means 3 talaqs. The implications of 3 talaqs in one word as in “teen talaq” or three words as in “talaq, talaq, talaq” are the same. They both constitute talaq-i-mughallazah (permanently irrevocable divorce) in which the husband and wife become haram upon each other.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
