    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1421/280/TL=1430)

     

    If your husband gave you three talaqs though unknowingly, the three talaq took place and you were divorced with mughallzah bayinah and became haram for him. There is no way to rejoin by nikah without halalah. فان طلقھا فلا تحل لہ من بعد حتی تنکح زوجاً غیرہ

    As far as the decision of Shariah Council England is concerned, we cannot comment until we have all details.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
