Husband and wife re-marrying after the iddah period

· 23 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Me and my husband are separated due to him saying talaak to me in anger. He has been trying to take me back since I came back to my family but they are against it. After a lot of explaining, they have now agreed but it has taken me three months meaning three menstrual cycles have been completed. Is my iddah period over? How should we go about it? Can we still get back together?

Answer

After the completion of three menstrual cycles you are out of his nikaah. If he has issued just one or two talaaqs then you should renew the nikaah with a new mahr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
