I need help as there’s so much confusion for a queston where ever I ask it in
Pakistan. There are different answer from different Mufti’s please guide.
My father said the word Talaaq 3 times in front me while he was Drunk. Talaaq
will occur or not? some say because it was 3 times Talaaq said in same time
so Talaaq doesn’t apply as it’s considered one time and also he was drunk
some say a person can say 2 times Talaaq at a single time if he says 3 times
then Talaaq will apply and it is independent of wether he was drunk or not.
And also my mother told me that father also said Talaaq at many occasions
before but only 1 time or two but last time he said 3 times. Please guide me!
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātu
In principle, if a person pronounces talaq while he is drunk, the talaq is valid. Therefore the three talaqs issued by your father will take place and constitute Talaq-e-Mughallazah (a permanently irrevocable divorce). If your father pronounced three talaqs before whether in one sitting or different sittings, the nikah has irrevocably terminated from that point. [1]
