1. Do explicit divorce pronouncements uttered by the wife after a divorce for absolution (Ibra')—while she is still in her waiting period (Iddah)—have any legal effect, and is it true that they do not because reconciliation (raj'ah) is not possible? 2. Does the waiting period (Iddah) for a divorce based on absolution (Ibra') differ such that the husband does not have the right to reconcile with his divorced wife, but he is permitted to remarry her during her waiting period (Iddah) and no one else, and is this correct? 3. Is the phrase "You are divorced from me for that [consideration]" considered Khul' (dissolution of marriage initiated by the wife) according to Ibn Taymiyyah and thus not counted as a divorce pronouncement, even if it is an explicit divorce utterance, or is it dependent on intention? And is there a jurisprudential opinion that considers it Khul' or annulment (faskh) regardless of intention, and it is not counted as a divorce pronouncement? 4. Does the fact that the divorced woman receives more than what she agreed to waive during the absolution (Ibra') make the divorce by absolution valid and not counted as a divorce pronouncement according to Ibn Taymiyyah, and do explicit divorce pronouncements not affect her before the end of her waiting period (Iddah) because she is not considered a wife? 5. If a divorce by absolution (Ibra') is considered a divorce and counted among the divorce pronouncements in prevailing legal practice, is it permissible for the husband, upon his third divorce, not to register it and to adopt Ibn Taymiyyah's view that a divorce by absolution is not counted as a divorce pronouncement? And if the first divorce was by absolution, is the third divorce then considered the second, and is the husband permitted to reconcile with her during her waiting period (Iddah) or to remarry her after its expiry?
Does divorce occur in a state of extreme anger, with the repeated utterance of the phrase twice during an argument, and once again when angry, and a fourth time by saying, "You are to me like my mother," with a temporary intention?
