Summary
According to the Shafi'i school, if a husband pronounces one or two talaq and the wife then marries another man before returning to the first husband, he only has the remaining talaq. In the case of one talaq, he has two left. This view is also held by Umar, Ali, Abu Hurairah and Imam Malik, and is the preferred view in the Ahmad school, which has two narrations on the matter. The second opinion, that the count returns to three, is held by Imam Abu Hanifah, Abu Yusuf and Ibn Abbas.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut mazhab al-Syafie, bilangan talak bagi suami isteri yang berkahwin semula setelah bercerai dengan talak satu atau dua, sekalipun jika isterinya itu bernikah dengan lelaki lain di antara talak-talak tersebut, ialah mengikut baki talak.
