    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1151/741/H=1433) (1) By giving three talaqs in a single meeting to wife with whom one has met in privacy all the three talaqs take place and thus she becomes haram for her husband. The husband neither has right to take her back nor to renew nikah without valid halalah. (Bukhari Shareef, Vol. 2, p. 791, Fatawa Hindiya, Vol. 1, p. 501) So it is mentioned in the commentary of hadith, Fiqh and Fatawa, rather the same is proved from the holy Quran. It is discussed in detail and with proof in Ahkam al-Quran Lil Jassas (رحمة الله عليه). (2) It is not correct method to give three talaqs in a single meeting rather it is makrooh. However, all the three talaqs take place and wife becomes haram. As wine is haram and it is not right to do iftar with it rather it is haram, but if someone does iftar with it then also it will take place though he shall get the sin of drinking wine. (3) First of all, one should make every effort to reconcile, but if he is hopeless then one talaq should be given in such tuhr (the period in which woman is free from menses) in which he has not done intercourse with her and then she completes her iddah. This is correct method to give divorce if it is inevitably needed.
