The answer

If a father pronounces divorce twice in one sitting, two divorces are counted according to the majority of scholars. As for his pronouncing the third divorce before the ' (waiting period) ends or before reconciliation occurs, it is an innovated (bid'i) and forbidden divorce according to the majority of scholars, and its perpetrator is considered an innovator by most scholars. The divorced woman's going out during her 'iddah in the daytime is permissible for a need, such as work or visiting.
