Divorcing one's wife once and taking her back on the same day


436

Q: On Friday 13/6/1393 A.H., I had a dispute with my wife and in a fit of temper, I divorced her once unintentionally. On the same day, I took her back in marriage in the presence of two witnesses. Please give us your Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) in this regard.


A: If the reality is as you mentioned, that you divorced your wife once and this Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband) was not in return for a consideration and it was not the third time of Talaq and then you took her back in marriage in the presence of two witnesses, your revocation of the Talaq is valid. You have two times of Talaq left for you. As for claiming to have divorced her unintentionally, it has no effect until proven. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
