What is the Sharia ruling regarding someone who divorced his wife twice in one sitting, then divorced her three times in another sitting while she was menstruating and he was angry, then denied the divorce in front of the Imam but later confessed to it, and what is the ruling on continuing marital life with two children after a fatwa of irrevocable divorce (baynunah kubra) has been issued?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The majority of scholars are of the opinion that divorce during menstruation is effective and that two divorces pronounced in a single session are valid, and that three divorces are valid if that was the intention. Some, like Shaykh al-Islam, hold the opinion that an innovated divorce (bid'i divorce) is not effective and that successive divorces are counted as one. The issue is subject to differing opinions and requires further details from the husband. Therefore, it is advised to refer to the Court or Islamic Centers.
