Three Talaaqs
Q: My husband and I had an argument and he said some hurtful things which he often says when we have our arguments.The next day we were talking and he asked me if I wanted a seperation. I said yes and he immediately mumbled Talaaq,Talaaq,Talaaq and got out of the car. Please advise if this terminates the nikkah (marriage).
A. Three Talaaqs have taken place and there is no possibility of reconciliation unless you marry someone else, but such a marriage must not be planned and arranged by the husband or yourself. You will now have to undergo the Iddat period. Moulana Yusuf Laher Checked and approved by: Mufti Siraj Desai

The Final Analysis |
|
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you, but be honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and Allah, it never was between you and them anyway. |

Conditions for Repentance |

Q: What are the conditions for sincere repentance? A. It is mentioned in a Hadeeth that when a person seeks forgiveness from a sin, it is as if he did not commit that sin at all. Ask for forgiveness in your own language and your own words. At the time of seeking forgiveness (Taubah) keep the following points in mind: * You should not be involved in the sin at the time of Taubah.
* You should have regret and remorse over your sins.
* You should promise Allah Ta'aala that you will not return to that sin again. Any sin, irrespective of how big it is, is forgiven through making Taubah. Turn towards Allah and He will turn towards you. If the sin involved rights of others, then with repentance unto Allah, the rights of the other persons have to be fulfilled or forgiveness has to be sought from those persons too. When the rights of others are involved, repentance unto Allah Ta'aala alone will not suffice. Fulfilment of the right or forgiveness has to be sought from the aggrieved. Moulana Yusuf Laher
