Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The definitive separation (baynunah) of the wife from her husband is conditional upon two things: First, that the husband's intention with the two consecutive pronouncements of divorce was not merely to emphasize the first with the second; otherwise, both are counted as a single divorce. Second, that the three pronouncements of divorce are established by evidence or by the husband's admission; otherwise, the divorce is not established. It is advisable to consult the courts regarding such matters.
