Swearing 4 oaths in Liaan (sworn allegation of adultery committed by Ode's spouse) and stoning the Jamraats seven times in Hajj are both Waajib. If a person says that he swears 4 oaths of Liaan, only one will be accepted and he will need to complete the remaining 3. If someone throws seven pebbles simultaneously against the Jamraat, only one stoning will occur and he will need to finish the remaining 6. Also, if a person vows, "I shall recite 1,000 Duroods," and then says the following, "O Allahعزوجل Send Durood & Salaam upon Rasoolullahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 1,000 times," this will not be counted as 1,000, but merely as one.

Thus, if a person gives three talaaqs at once, only one should be accepted as complete.

Answer - AlhamduliIlah, you have accepted Deduction (Qiyaas) and have taken the trouble to make it. However, your presumptions are like you. In Liaan and the stoning, the action is the objective, not the result. In Talaaq, the result is the objective, not the action. So your Qiyaas is incorrect.

Every oath of Liaan necessitates one witness. In Zina, 4 witnesses are required. Liaan officiates Zina (i.e. the action of swearing an oath should also be four). Four Liaans with one word equal only one action.

In the stoning of the Jamraats, 7 actions of throwing are required, so it wouldn't make a difference how many you could throw at once. The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم completed the action of throwing seven times. As a result, following him is necessary.

In Durood Sharif, reward is attained relative to strife. When you vow to recite 1,000 Durood Sharifs, you're actually vowing to make that much amount of effort. Saying "a 1,000 times" definitely doesn't have the effect of actually reading Durood Sharif 1,000 times. This ruling is different to our discussion. Vows are modeled on general usage (urf). Is talaaq an action of thawaab that more effort in it causes more reward to be attained?

Thus, all of these Objections are weak, baseless and indicative of following the desire of wanting everything to be easy. May Allahعزوجل grant the correct understanding of the Quran and Hadith to those who fashion Islam according to their limited thinking. Aameen.

If giving three talaaqs truly causes only one to be complete but the wife separates from the husband because of them, there will be no wrong doing. However, if by three talaaqs, three are complete and rujoo is made without Halaala, the entire life that will be spent between the couple will be Haraam! To conclude, caution is in accepting three, which is why the Ulama of Usool (Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence) state that when permissibility and prohibition clash, the latter should be preferred.
