Saudi Scholars’ Verdict: Three Divorces Are Counted as One
The Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia has ruled that giving three divorces in a single statement counts as three divorces. This ruling is based on scholarly and jurisprudential discussion and aims to clear misunderstandings among Muslims.
This issue had been misrepresented by some non-followers and anti-Islamic groups as a means to modify Muslim personal law. However, the scholars clarified that three divorces given in one statement are considered as three separate divorces.
Quranic verses and the sayings of the Companions (Sahaba) confirm this verdict, emphasizing that a third divorce renders the wife prohibited for the husband, whether given in one word or separately.
This scholarly clarification has been republished to reduce confusion and prevent discord in the Muslim community.
