Is it permissible for a woman to return to her first husband, who divorced her three times, after she has married another man and engaged in sexual intercourse with him only once?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the suitor has performed a valid marriage contract with you and had intercourse with you after the contract, then divorced you, and your waiting period has ended, then your first husband is permitted to contract a new marriage with you. The intercourse that occurred after the contract and before the wedding does not prevent the validity of returning to the first husband.
