Question
During a heated argument with my wife, she demanded: "Give me my Talaaq!". She said so several times. In response I said: "I have granted it." Is this a valid Talaaq?
Answer
Your statement: "I have granted it", in response to her demand for divorce constitutes One Talaaq. However, since it is Talaaq Raj'i, you may revoke it and reconcile with her. The revocation should be before expiry of the Iddat period.
Also remember that although the Talaaq can be revoked, it will always remain suspended. That means that if at any time in future you issue two Talaaqs, the marriage will finally end. Then revocation and reconciliation will no longer be valid.
