The answer

If you suspend your wife's triple divorce on her eating or drinking from your hand, then if you proceed with that, a triple divorce occurs according to the majority of scholars. Your wife becomes unlawful to you until she marries another husband in a marriage of desire. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah holds that you are bound by a single divorce if you intended divorce. This suspended divorce cannot be reversed according to the majority, whereas Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah permitted it.
