Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee resolved that rujuk (revocation of divorce) may take place through spoken words and also through sexual intercourse. This applies during the iddah period of a revocable divorce (talak raji'i). Rujuk through intercourse is valid even without an intention to reconcile.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
rujuk boleh berlaku bukan sahaja dengan perkataan / lafaz, bahkan dengan jimak semasa iddah talak raji'i sekalipun tanpa niat rujuk.
