"I dont want to live with you and I divorce you...i divorce you....i divorce you...."

is our nikkah is over? if yes what is there any procedure to be togetther again?

 

 

 

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Kindly clarify whether the right of Talaaq given to your wife was restricted (to the time of nikah only) or was it unrestricted (i.e. she was given the right of Talaaq throughout the duration of the nikah). If a written document is available, kindly forward it to us for our study.

And Allah knows best
