Taking one’s wife back during the `Iddah, then divorcing her again


A: If you divorced your wife one time before and then you took her back in marriage during `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood) then you divorced her again by saying: "My wife is divorced forever and if she finds a better man to marry, it is good for her," and you did not divorce her except for this time, you may take her back in marriage as long as she is in her `Iddah, and bring two witnesses to witness this. The pronunciation of divorce you uttered is considered one divorce and the second is a single divorce, and you only have with your wife one divorce left.
