The question

Is being alone together with sound and image over the internet, while seeing what the spouses see in the bedroom and with the possibility of ejaculation, considered a valid privacy that necessitates renewing the marriage contract, or is it sufficient to say, "I have taken you back," after divorce and before consummation?

The answer

If a husband secludes himself with his wife in a valid seclusion where sexual intercourse is ordinarily possible, it is considered as consummation according to the Hanbalis, and a revocable divorce (raj'ah) becomes valid without the need for a new marriage contract. However, the majority of scholars do not hold this view. As for seclusion via the internet, it is not considered a valid seclusion, and a revocable divorce is not valid thereafter except with a new marriage contract, even according to the Hanbalis.
