Divorcing both wives in one pronouncement of divorce
Q: I divorced my wife according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad and wished her good luck. It should be noted that I returned to her in the presence of two male witnesses in 5/2/1405 A.H.I willingly divorced my second wife by saying: I divorce according to the Sunnah and I wish her good luck.I returned to her in marriage in the presence of her brother and another male witness in 29/1/1405 A.H. Admitted by the husband.I inform you
that I divorced my two wives once
according to the enclosed documents. I returned to them in the presence of witnesses. I need your Fatwa to convince their families of this. I need an official Fatwa from you. May Allah reward you with the best.
A:
If the reality is as mentioned, that you divorced your two wives (Part No. 20; Page No. 254) once and it was not the third divorce for either of them, then you returned to them in their `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood), your return to them in marriage is valid. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
