Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee decided that a talaq linked to a number greater than one, whether by utterance, writing or gesture, is counted as only one talaq. If the pronouncement is repeated during the iddah period without a prior reconciliation (rujuk), the repetition is not counted as a new talaq.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
talak yang dikaitkan dengan bilangan yang melebihi satu talak sama ada secara lafaz, tulisan atau isyarat, hanya dikira satu talak sahaja.
