The details of the question are below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">I have been married for the past 16 years (2008). I have 3 children aged 11, 9 &amp; 6. I am 40 years old &amp; I converted to Islam from Christianity back in 2007 &amp; I am from Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">We have already had 2 divorces. The question is regarding the 3rd divorce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">I have been diagnosed with clinical ADHD &amp; have been put on medication which I stopped taking due to my financial condition as the medication is expensive. The affect of this illness is that I lack a lot of executive skills &amp; I do not remember things. In addition to this I am also diagnosed with NPD (Narcissistic personality disorder). The cure for this is therapy however due my financial conditions I have not been able to take this too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">My parents passed away when I was 10 years old &amp; I have been raised by my elder brother who is 6 years older than me. Due to my medical conditions &amp; childhood issues I was not able to fulfil my duties as a husband due to which differences \/ fights arose between myself &amp; my wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The scenario of the 3rd divorce is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">My wife had moved to Canada due to the abuse at home &amp; to secure a future for our children. She secured admission (on full tuition funded) graduate program and moved to Canada back in August 2023. Myself &amp; the children were back in Pakistan hoping that we will also go to Canada as it will be easier to get a visa since the Kids mother was there. However unfortunately the visa got refused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Before moving to Canada a similar fight had happened in which my wife had asked me to leave the house etc. I have an online Job in which I provide consultancy to a Mobile company in the Caribbean. Since my Job is online &amp; I could not miss my job because already due to arguments at home etc I missed my job multiple times &amp; because of that I was on my last warning. I asked my wife that I cannot miss my job as then I would have no earning and I am already in debt. However, because of this threat and the fear of financial crisis for myself &amp; the family I said fine &amp; issued her divorce on a voice note. On this I got a fatwa from Egypt Darul ifta that the divorce is not done &amp; I just need to pay the fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">While my wife was in Canada me and my wife used to have regular phone calls. As I was trying to manage 2 houses (1 in Pakistan &amp; 1 in Canada) my financial conditions depleted more rapidly and the arguments + my abuse to her grew too. The reasons were not only finances but also other things beyond finances, things that are related to my behaviour due to ADHD &amp; NPD. However, due to the financial pressure my behavioural issues grew more and more. The separation from Kids + the constant abuse from my side depleted my wife\u2019s mental and physical health drastically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">However back in January 2024 a similar fight happened in which my wife said that I want a divorce &amp; that she cannot deal with me anymore. In order to avoid future stresses, I not realising and not in the correct mental state (not anger) but forgetfulness that I have already gotten a fatwa before (the one I mentioned above) thinking that its the same situation (and hence divorce won\u2019t happen), I issued her 3 divorces in a Voice Note. However, I was not in the correct state of mind &amp; had completely forgotten what the previous incident was. Forgetfulness is something I am really struggling with both in my personal &amp; work life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Later when I realised what had happened, I was in denial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">I approached the same Mufti who had given me previous fatwa (from Egypt), but he said that for a ruling I need to travel to Egypt. I would have gone but my financial situation does not allow me travel at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Me and my wife do not know what to do since the children are too young &amp; I know what a compromised childhood can do to children. I am also committed that I would get my treatment done through therapies &amp; medication and ensure that I can fulfil my God given responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Kindly if you could let me know if the divorce has been done or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><u><strong>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><u><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">In your question, it seems very clear that you gave talaq four times in obvious terms.
