Reconciling after talaaq-e-baain

· 18 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I e-mailed you about the problems between my husband and myself, and you replied and said if my husband used the word of "Leave the house" then he will not be halaal for his wife and this will be talaaq-e-baain. My question is if they both want to ruju again what should they do according to the Islamic point of view please help me.

Answer

If the husband had only issued one talaaq-e-baain (irrevocable talaaq), and the spouses wish to reconcile, then it is permissible provided a new nikaah is performed with a separate mahr.

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