Saya telah menjatuhkan talak kepada isteri saya pada kemudian rujuk kembali. Selepas itu, saya menceraikannya sekali lagi. Kemudian, isteri saya telah mengadukan perceraian tersebut dan rujuk semula. Selepas itu, saya telah melafazkan cerai di hadapan Hakim mahkamah syariah dengan talak dua sedangkan saya telah tiga kali menceraikannya.
Does a divorce take effect when a husband pronounces a second talaq before a Shariah court judge, after he had already divorced his wife three times with reconciliation in between?
Short answer
If the final statement before the judge was only meant to explain to the court the wording used on the second occasion, no talaq falls at that moment.

Summary
If the final statement before the judge was only meant to explain to the court the wording used on the second occasion, no talaq falls at that moment. If it was truly intended to pronounce a divorce, the talaq takes effect and it becomes the third talaq. The ruling depends on the husband's intention when he made the statement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya lafaz akhir yang diucapkan itu hanya sebagai penjelasan kepada mahkamah tentang bentuk lafaz yang diucapkan pada kali ke-2, maka talak tidak jatuh pada ketika itu.
