According to the Shafi'is, separation by annulment () is not considered a divorce and does not count towards its number. Therefore, a husband may remarry his wife if he separated from her by annulment, because annulment is a minor separation (baynunah sughra). The difference between them is that annulment was legislated to remove harm and its number is not included in it, whereas for divorce, the Lawgiver has set a specific number because it occurs by choice.
