A woman renounced Islam and became a murtad.

Question

A woman renounced Islam and became a murtad. Thereupon her husband gave her three Talaaqs. After a few days, realizing her grave error she repented, recited the Kalimah and returned to Islam. The couple wants to reconcile. What is the position in this scenario? The husband had issued three Talaaqs.

Answer

The reconciliation is possible. They simply have to renew the Nikah regardless of the three Talaaqs which were not valid. Irtidaad (renouncing Islam) automatically annuls the Nikah without Talaaq, hence the three Talaaqs were not valid.
