Islam Question and Answer - Thrice-divorced at one time

Thrice-divorced at
one time
My friends husband was angery he
prounounced "I divorce you" three times at the same time. He was suspicious of
her. When he was leaving divorced her and at the same time he said if you only love me
come back to me. My friend is so upset she does not know what to do. Is the divorce vaild.
Please reply in details. May Allah bless you. Thankyou.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

A divorce (talaaq) uttered at a time of anger where a man
has reached the point where he is not aware of what he is saying and thus may be
classified as (temporarily) insane, does not count as divorce. But if he was aware of what
he was saying, then it does count as divorce, and because he has divorced her three times,
he cannot remarry her unless some else has married and divorced her.

But if he is uncertain as to whether he spoke the words of divorce or not,
then this does not count as divorce, because the basic principle is that she is his wife
and is not divorced unless it is certain.

The simple fact that a husband and wife love one another does not mean
that he can go back to her after they are divorced.

And Allaah knows best.
