Bayhaqi Q15190 — The marriage of a woman divorced three times

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي الطَّلْقَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ: {فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ} [البقرة: 230]، فَاحْتَمَلَتِ الْآيَةُ حَتَّى يُجَامِعَهَا زَوْجٌ غَيْرُهُ وَدَلَّتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ السُّنَّةُ فَكَانَ أَوْلَى الْمَعَانِي بِكِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا دَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ سُنَّةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ".
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said concerning the third divorce: 'And if he divorces her (a third time), then she is not lawful to him afterwards until she marries a husband other than him.' [Surah al-Baqarah: 230]
So the verse carried the possibility that (what is meant is): until a husband other than him has intercourse with her; and the Sunnah indicated this. Therefore, the most fitting of the meanings of the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is the meaning indicated by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
