Question

A husband divorces his wife and she then starts her iddah. They don’t reconcile and then he gives her another divorce again in this iddah, is this type of divorce valid?

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

It is valid. In fact, it is better for a husband who wants to give more than one divorce to his wife, that he gives it in intervals and not all at once.[1]

Only Allah knows best
