assalamualaikum my question is about divorce. Actually i was given talaq from my husband last year. we were living together. we had some problems and we thought that divorce is the best solution. Well he signed 3 papers of talaq at the same time in the presence of 3 other persons and me. i want to know if the talaq is valid since im going to get married again soon. i am in doubt as some other people are telling that its not valid since we were living together and were having a physical relationship few days before the divorce. please let me know as soon as possible thank you Allah Hafiz
Alhamdu-li-llah wa as-Salatu wa as-Salamu ‘ala Rasool-il-llah,
Though that divorce is impermissible, since you were having conjugal relations a few days prior to it, it is valid according to the vast majority. At times, the position upheld by Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymeah and some of the righteous predecessors regarding the invalidity of this talaq is used to make some concessions in cases of dire hardship where the family breakdown leads to much harm. This doesn’t pertain to your case.
Sister, you are divorced according to the four respected madhahib.
