Talaq query
Question
Hazrat we have a situation here where one of our relative had a verbal argument and in the heat of argument the man said these words to his wife. These words were said in his native language but i will try o translate it to the nearest. The words were " Bismillah Hir Rahman nir Raheem ik,do,teen, mein nay tumhein 3 talaq se azaad kardia " he did not utter the words talaq by itself three times rather he said ik,do,teen.. Can you please look in to this and advise accordingly if this was a valid talaq or if the nikah is still intact..
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If a person said “ik,do,teen, mein nay tumhein 3 talaq se azaad kardia,” then Talaq e Mughallaza (permanently irrevocable divorce) will take place.[i] In the subsequent statements of ik, do, teen, he clearly stated mein ne tumhe 3 talaq se azaad kardia (I have freed you with three divorces).
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وإن كان الطلاق ثلاثا في الحرة أو ثنتين في الأمة لم تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره نكاحا صحيحا ويدخل بها ثم يطلقها أو يموت عنها

وينكح مبانته في العدّة وبعدها
لا المبانة بالثّلاث لو حرّةً وبالثّنتين لو أمةً حتّى يطأها غيره، ولو مراهقًا بنكاحٍ صحيحٍ وتمضي عدّته

وَإِنْ كَانَ الطَّلَاقُ ثَلَاثًا فِي الْحُرَّةِ وَثِنْتَيْنِ فِي الْأَمَةِ لَمْ تَحِلَّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ نِكَاحًا صَحِيحًا وَيَدْخُلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا أَوْ يَمُوتَ عَنْهَ
