Question:
My husband texted me “I divorce you” once, but he used the word Talaq thrice in his text. After a week he decided that he wanted to take me back and said that he was angry and there was no intention of Talaq in what he said. He is a follower of the Ahle Hadees and I follow the Hanafih Madhab. He says according to the Ahle Hadees a triple divorce given on one occasion only amounts to one divorce. Is this a revocable divorce or is it not revocable?
