Divorcing one's wife once and taking her back after four days

Q: Someone divorced his wife with one pronouncement and he had not (Part No. 20; Page No. 228) divorced her before. Four days later, he took her back in front of two witnesses who are from Mahal `Uly Hamdan.


A: Since the said person divorced his wife for the first time with one pronouncement of divorce and then took her back during her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood) in the presence of witnesses, then his wife is considered as divorced once and is legally permitted to return to him as long as she is in her `Iddah and the two witnesses are trustworthy. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
