Divorce Scenario
Asking for a friend (Real scenario) :
A man, in anger, divorced his wife and then reconciled with her. The second time, again in anger, he divorced her and reconciled. The third time, he divorced her and they separated. After 8 months, they realized they had made a mistake and started living together again in the same house but in separate rooms. They are confused whether they need to perform nikah again, or whether the divorces do not count because they were given in anger, or whether halala would be required.
They both want to live together and they also have a son. The man realizes his mistake and is willing to offer compensation (kaffara) for it.

Divorce is a serious decision, similar to ending a contract, and should be approached with full awareness of its consequences. It is not comparable to mere verbal abuse or name-calling.
In such cases, the husband’s statement is considered. If he affirms that the words were spoken in extreme anger without the intention of divorcing, the marriage remains valid. However, if he consciously pronounced the divorce, it will be counted as such.
Halala is not part of the religion; rather, it is a circumstance where, if the woman marries another man and he later divorces her, she may then remarry her first husband.
The husband should consult our fatwa service, providing full details of his condition at the time he issued the divorce.
