Question
A man gave his wife one Talaaq, then reconciled with her. After some days in an argument with her on the phone he said: 'I Talaaq you, Talaaq you, Talaaq, you.' He later explained that he had no intention of Talaaq. An Aalim says that these three Talaaqs are one Talaaq. Therefore he has reconciled with his wife. Was the ruling of the Aalim correct?
Answer
The Nikah has ended irrevocably and finally. They cannot reconcile. Her iddat commenced the moment he had uttered the third Talaaq. An intention is not at all a condition for validity of the Talaaq. They are living in the state of zina. The so-called 'aalim' is a vile jaahil.
