Three talaaqs

Question

I gave my wife divorce in anger three times yesterday. Are we divorced or we can stay together?

Answer

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. Hence, since you issued three divorces to your wife, you both are haraam for each other and it is no longer permissible for you both to continue living together as husband and wife.

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