Divorcing the wife at the beginning and end of the day

382

Q: My son-in-law KH. `A. R. Divorced my daughter at the beginning of the day and wrote a paper to that effect but did not mention the number of Talaqs (divorce pronouncements) he intended. Towards the end of the day my son-in-law divorced his wife again without specifying the number of Talaqs. What is the opinion of your Eminence regarding that? Provide me with your beneficial answer please. May Allah reward you.The committee has read the two papers which are mentioned in the question in which the texts are the following:First: I am KH. `A. R., the husband of F. `A. SH., have divorced her while I was of sound mind.Second: I am the husband KH. `A. R. Holding family record no. 1376 issued on 21/06/1391 A. H. From Huraymila' and of Saudi nationality, divorced my wife F. `A. SH.

A: If the reality is exactly as what is mentioned in the question, that this Talaq was not for a compensation, was neither preceded nor followed by any other Talaq; two valid pronouncements of Talaq are effective, but it is permissible for your son-in-law to revoke the Talaq if the `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood) of your daughter has not expired. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
