Question
I divorced my wife in court, without pronouncing talaq on her outside. It has now been six years. Can we get back together?Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
May Allah's peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad, his folk, companions, and followers
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.
The court divorce would count as one divorce, as a written declaration of divorce counts as divorce (talaq). [Qudri Basha, al-Ahkam al-Shar`iyya fi'l Ahwal al-Shakhsiyya]
It would be permitted for you to get back together, but after a new nikah. [ibid.] It would be proper to seek the guidance and assistance of a reliable local scholar in this process.
And Allah alone gives success.
