Does a triple divorce take effect—before consummation—when it is contingent upon going to the market, with the fear that it was made contingent with the intention of conforming to the view of the majority that it takes effect, and not remembering the intention of imitation at that time?
The fatwa regarding a triple divorce is based on the majority opinion that it counts as three divorces. However, since the questioner referred the matter to the Sharia court and the judge ruled that it counts as a single divorce, there is no harm in him acting upon the judge's ruling. This is because a judge's ruling resolves differences in matters of scholarly dispute. Therefore, he should not pay attention to doubts or whispers.
