Talaaq-e-Mughallazah

Question

My husband would take sleeping tablets that caused him to have a very aggressive nature. He would lose self-control in that state. He mentioned Talaaq 3 times via a message. Does this count as 3 Talaaqs, or as one?

Answer

The three Talaaqs issued to you are valid and constitute a Talaaq-e-Mughallazah (a permanently, irrevocable divorce) and are regarded as three. Therefore, your marriage has terminated. You are no longer husband and wife.

الهداية في شرح بداية المبتدي (2/ 257)

وإن كان الطلاق ثلاثا في الحرة أو ثنتين في الأمة لم تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره نكاحا صحيحا ويدخل بها ثم يطلقها أو يموت عنها ” والأصل فيه قوله تعالى: {فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلا تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ} [البقرة: 230]

الفتاوى الهندية – ط. دار الفكر (1/ 473)

وَإِنْ كان الطَّلَاقُ ثَلَاثًا في الْحُرَّةِ وَثِنْتَيْنِ في الْأَمَةِ لم تَحِلَّ له حتى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ نِكَاحًا صَحِيحًا وَيَدْخُلَ بها ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا أو يَمُوتَ عنها كَذَا في الْهِدَايَةِ وَلَا فَرْقَ في ذلك بين كَوْنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ مَدْخُولًا بها أو غير مَدْخُولٍ بها كَذَا في فَتْحِ الْقَدِيرِ وَيُشْتَرَطُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْإِيلَاجُ مُوجِبًا لِلْغُسْلِ وهو الْتِقَاءُ الْخِتَانَيْنِ هَكَذَا في الْعَيْنِيِّ شَرْحِ الْكَنْزِ أَمَّا الْإِنْزَالُ فَلَيْسَ بِشَرْطٍ لِلْإِحْلَالِ
