Question
A man during an argument with his wife said to her "You are free." He then separated from her. After a few days, he said that he was taking her back. What is the Shariah's ruling?
Answer
If the husband's intention when saying: "You are free", was Talaaq, then one Talaaq Baa-in came into effect. The fact that he said that he was "taking her back", indicates that he had intended Talaaq. They should now renew the Nikah. Without Nikah they cannot reconcile.
