Question
In anger I said to my wife: "I will give you Talaaq". I repeated this statement thrice. What is the condition of our Nikah?
Answer
The Talaaq in your case is not valid because you had related it to the future. You said: "I will give you Talaaq". If you had said: "I give you Talaaq", then the Talaaq would have been effective.
Since all three statements were the same, related to the future, no divorce took place. Your Nikah is still valid. For future reference, remember that with Talaaq you are playing with fire. Once a valid Talaaq statement is uttered or written or sent by cell phone, the Talaaq comes immediately into effect even if the wife did not receive the message.
