I said talaq five times to my wife at the fit of anger under the influence of alcohol. Is this valid and final? Now I as well as my wife are genuinely interested in reconciliation/reunion. What is the right procedure to do so? Kindly guide us the right path.

(1) In the question mentioned above three talaqs took place on your wife. She became haram for you and now there is no way to be halal for you without Shariah halalah. Almighty Allah says in the holy Quran:
فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلاَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِن بَعْدُ حَتَّىَ تَنكِحَ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ [البقرة : 230]
وفى الفتاوى الهندية (كتاب الطلاق باب فى الرجعة فصل في ما تحل به المطلقة وما يتصل به 1:473ط مكتبة زكريا ديوبند): وإن كان الطلاق ثلاثا فى الحرة لم تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره نكاحا صحيحا ويدخل بها ثم يطلقها أو يموت عنها كذا فى الهداية اهـ
