Talaaq Explained Part 2 How should Talaaq be issued? Talaaq is only to be pronounced once. This is done by the husband stating, “Talaaq!” or “I give you Talaaq!” or “I divorce you!” and similar statements. In written form, the words have the same effect. The Talaaq should preferably be witnessed by two witnesses but will still be valid if pronounced in the absence of witnesses. Do not under any circumstances pronounce Three Talaaqs at one instance. Such an action is Haraam and greatly angered Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam. The pronouncement of Three Talaaqs will cause an immediate termination of the Nikah without scope for reconciliation. It is an evil that many have regretted. Do not be of those who have to live with this regret. When should Talaaq be issued? To pronounce Talaaq to a woman in her menses is Haraam but the Talaaq will still be valid. It is compulsory for the husband to revoke a Talaaq issued in menses if possible. The period of time wherein a woman is not in menses is known as Tuhr (clean period). Talaaq should only be pronounced during a Tuhr period with the additional condition that there should be no intimate relations between spouses in the said Tuhr period. Consulting with the Ulama is a must before contemplating the issuance of Talaaq.
