I wanted to know the difference between saying “teen talaaq” and “talaaq, talaaq, talaaq”. Does it imply the same in both cases?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
“Teen talaq” in urdu means 3 talaqs. The implications of 3 talaqs in one word as in “teen talaq” or three words as in “talaq, talaq, talaq” are the same. They both constitute talaq-i-mughallazah (permanently irrevocable divorce) in which the husband and wife become haram upon each other.[1]
