Talaaq over the phone?

Question

Q. my husband has given me talaaq over the phone is this valid he has it 3 times?

Answer

Although this in inappropriate way of giving Talaaq, Talaaq issued over the phone is valid and effective. If it is established that your husband had issued you three Talaaqs over the phone, all three Talaaqs will be valid and effective thereby terminating the Nikah irretrievably and rendering you and your husband Haraam upon each other.

And Allah Knows Best

It could be that you dislike something, when it is good for you; and it could be that you like something when it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.
