The answer

If a man divorces his wife with the third divorce, she becomes irrevocably separated from him and is not lawful for him until she marries another husband in a desired marriage, and then he divorces her or dies. Apostasy does not affect this ruling; so, if she was divorced thrice, then apostatized, then returned to Islam, she is not lawful for her first divorcer until she marries another husband.
