My husband gave me three Talaaqs while I was in hospital.

Answer

Iddat commences immediately from the time the Talaaq is given regardless of one‟s condition. The Iddat will be three haidh (menses) cycles. Your ex-husband is a cruel jaahil. Although his act is haraam, the Talaaqs are valid and after three full haidh cycles your Iddat will end regardless of the circumstances which have compelled you to be outside the marital home where it is Waajib to observe the Iddat. The meaning of three full haidh cycles is that the cycle in which the Talaaq may have been given is not included in the three.
