Question
Urgent Fatwa needed, It is a matter of Jannah or Jahannam for me. Please reply as soon as possible. My husband told me three times Talaaq, the last one was in July 2001. (The last one was Dec 23rd but the July Talaaq which that man convince you was the last one in order to get you in bed, so tell them about July Talaaq). Then my husband found a Fatwa that those Talaaq were invalid because they were out of anger or during my monthly period. So started our sex marriage life again in august 2001. The last intercourse was in Nov 28th 2001. Then a man convince me that I was Talaaq in July and my Iddah was ended in Oct 2001. So he asked me to marry him and I did on Jan 31st. So there was only 2 months period between the last intercourse from my husband and the intercourse with the new man. My original husband (do not say ex-husband) says that is Zina because the Iddah of Talaaq should be 3 monthly period after the last intercourse in Halal or Haram or 3 monthly period after the last pronounce Talaaq in did not touch you after that Talaq. After my original husband told me that I did Zina, I started another Iddah after the last intercourse with the new man. I am waiting till the end of this Iddah to remarry either these two men or new man. Please tell me your opinion, am I doing the right thing now, I do not do something that anger Allah. Who am I? Married?, Zani?, not married to anyone? Divorced? In Iddah? Not in Iddah? Can I remarry my original husband? Can I marry the new man? Should I leave them both? I am getting crazy, what should I do? If what I did adultery, should I kill myself because the punishment for adultery for a married woman is stone to death please, answer, your sister in Islam as soon as possible before I kill myself to fulfill the punishment of Allah in doing adultery.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Know that killing yourself is forbidden regardless of how serious your previous or present condition. If you kill yourself, you will commit a major and worst sin and expose yourself for the Anger and Punishment of Allah.
On the other hand, you have to hasten repenting towards Allah before missing this chance. There is no sin, major or small one, but Allah forgives it, if one makes sincere repentance.
Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allâh, nor kill such life as Allâh has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace; Except those who repent and believe (in Islâmic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allâh will change their sins into good deeds, and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allâh with true repentance.}[68-71].
Moreover, you must separate from the husband you are living with and should refer to the Islamic court in your country to take a correct decision after considering all the circumstances.
We apologize to you for not giving a Fatwa since your case is very complicated. Therefore, we could not determine the whole situation you are in.
There are many things that should be cleared before giving a Fatwa, for example.
A) The nature of the anger in which divorce was given.
B) Questioner sister did not mention when the second and third divorces were given, whether they were during her monthly period or after it, and so forth.
Know that canceling or abolishing a marriage is a very serious matter. It is not used by any person as and where he/she wishes. Rather a Muslim facing a problem as you are, should consult to a Judge in Islamic court or his deputy to annul the marriage if he decides so; otherwise, taking your own decision to annul the marriage based on a Fatwa or a tale is not correct.
Allah knows best.
