PROOFS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE VIEW OF THE AHLUS_SUNNAH ON THE MAS’ALA OF THREE DIVORCES

By

man then she becomes halaal (lawful) for the first man (i.e. only if she is divorced by the second man after consummating their marriage without this being planned). This has been clearly stated by Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).” (Kitaabul Ijmaa’, Ibnul Munzir Page 92)

The Great Muhaddith, Imaam Abu Ja’far Tahawi (May Allaah Ta’ala have mercy on him) states, “One who issues his wife with three simultaneous divorces will result in three divorces falling. (The proof for this is the unanimity of the Noble Sahabah (May Allaah Ta’ala be pleased with them)). When Hadhrat Umar (May Allaah Ta’ala be pleased with him) addressed his people with regards to this aspect (i.e. three divorces falling), there were many Sahabah present in the gathering who were well aware of the ruling from the blessed era of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) despite which, none of them denied or refuted the verdict of Hadhrat Umar (May Allaah Ta’ala be pleased with him). This is the greatest form of evidence in our hands that whatever was before became ‘Mansookh’ (abrogated).”

Just as the practice of the Noble Sahabah (May Allaah Ta’ala be pleased with them) holds such strength and merit that it becomes Waajib (incumbent) to hold it as substantial proof, (in the same manner) the Sahabah (May Allaah Ta’ala be pleased with them) enacting unanimity on a practice also acts as substantial evidence. (The same applies in this mas’ala too)

The Great Mufassir (Commentator of the Qur’aan), Qaadhi Thanaa-ullah Paani Pati (May Allaah Ta’ala have mercy on him) writes under the commentary of the verse, (الطلاق مرتان)that the words of Allaah Ta’ala ‘At-Talaaq……’ according to this commentary (mentioned previously) also includes three divorces. He further writes that the Fuqahaa (Jurists) and Muhadditheen (Scholars of Hadith) unanimously view that one who issues his wife with three simultaneous divorces (in one word) will result in three divorces falling.
