The question

If a wife who was irrevocably divorced with a minor, irrevocable divorce returns to her husband with a new contract, does the count of the three divorces resume, or is it counted from the last divorce? And does the conditional divorce, suspended on her not entering her brother's house, take effect if she enters it after her waiting period has ended and she has returned to him?

The answer

Minor irrevocability does not nullify a previous divorce; rather, any subsequent divorces are added to it. If the total reaches three divorces, the woman becomes irrevocably divorced (major irrevocability).

As for her entering her brother's house during the period of minor irrevocability, no divorce is issued due to the absence of a valid object for divorce. However, if she enters her brother's house after a second marriage and the condition upon which the divorce was suspended occurs, then, according to the majority of scholars, the divorce takes effect.
