Issuing talaaq in the absence of witnesses
Question
I have given my wife one talaaq thereafter we reconciled the marriage. After a week we had an arguement, she requested that should I issue her second and third talaaq, she will accept it in front of a witness. I issued it not in front of any witnesses. Is it valid or not?
Answer
If you issued the second and third talaaq, it will be valid even though it was not in the presence of witnesses.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
