Al Baqarah

HR Background

فَاِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدُ حَتّٰى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَیْرَهٗؕ-فَاِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِمَاۤ اَنْ یَّتَرَاجَعَاۤ اِنْ ظَنَّاۤ اَنْ یُّقِیْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ یُبَیِّنُهَا لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ(230)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

If he divorces her ˹the third time˺, that woman is no longer lawful for him until she marries another man[1]. Then, if the second husband divorces her, there is no sin on both (first husband and wife) returning to each other if they think that they will uphold the boundaries of Allah. These are the boundaries of Allah which He states for people of understanding.

Commentary

[1]

Three divorces in three months, or within one month, or within one day, or within one sitting, or within one sentence; in all cases the divorce would take place, and the marriage would be terminated with immediate effect (making the woman unlawful for the man). After three divorces, without a Shar‘i process, it is absolutely unlawful for a man and woman to engage in sexual activities with each other; those who ignore this prohibition and strive for their reunion are equally sinful.
