The question

Is there a specific number for a revocable divorce (ṭalāq rajʿī), and does the ruling on reconciliation (rajʿah) differ before the expiry of the waiting period (ʿiddah) from after its expiry? That is, if a man divorces his wife and reconciles with her numerous times at different occasions, are these divorces counted, or are they not considered part of the triple divorce as long as they occur during the reconciliation period?

The answer

Revocable divorce is when a husband divorces his wife with whom he has consummated the marriage, with a first or second pronouncement. He is permitted to take her back before the end of her waiting period (iddah) without a new contract or dowry, based on the verse: "And their husbands have more right to take them back in that [period]." However, if he divorces her a third time, she becomes unlawful for him and irrevocably separated from him (major divorce), regardless of whether these pronouncements were separated or made together at the same time.
