Does a wife become forbidden to her husband if he says to her "you are divorced" three consecutive times while he is in a state of anger?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a husband says to his unconsummated wife: "You are divorced," and then repeats the phrase, a single irrevocable divorce occurs. Anything he says thereafter is void, because she becomes irrevocably divorced with the first pronouncement and has no waiting period ('idda). Consequently, no divorce can be pronounced upon a non-wife. He is permitted to remarry her with a new contract.
