Am I living in sin? My husband divorced me 3 times in front of two witnesses. We got back together. I have found in many places that if your husband divorces you 3 times you are not halal for him.
Question
My husband divorced me 3 times in front of two witnesses. During the three month iddah period he brought a Fatwa from the London Islamic Mosque stating that 3 talaaqs are counted as one. We got back together. After further research I have found in many places that if your husband divorces you 3 times you are not halal for him.
Answer
When a man gives his wife (conceived or not) three Talaaqs (verbally or in writing) it is classified as Talaaq Mughallazah (literally meaning three Talaaqs; whether these Talaaqs were issued in one sitting or on different occasions), they are still valid and regarded as three. They cannot live together as husband and wife.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
