What is the ruling on a triple divorce that occurred in a single session, during a period of purity in which sexual intercourse took place, knowing that the wife was the one who requested and insisted on the divorce, and refused to reconcile? And does she forfeit her right to the dower if she acknowledges this before the court?

The majority of scholars hold that a Bid'i divorce (innovated divorce) takes effect, despite its prohibition, and that a triple divorce pronounced in a single utterance counts as three. However, Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and some other scholars disagreed, viewing that an innovated divorce does not take effect, and that a triple divorce pronounced in a single utterance counts as one. The fatwa (definition) (religious edict) generally followed is that of the majority. Nevertheless, a judge's ruling resolves the dispute; therefore, it is permissible to act upon a court's decision if it aligns with the view of some scholars and is based on sound evidence.

As for the dowry (sadaq) being forfeited merely because the woman requests a divorce, this is incorrect. A woman is entitled to all her legitimate rights as a divorcée, unless the husband stipulates the forfeiture of some of her rights and she agrees to that.
