The answer

If you utter the triple divorce during your wife's waiting period () from the first divorce, some scholars are of the opinion that a divorce pronounced during the iddah does not count. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen holds that the triple divorce counts as only one, unless it is interspersed with a reconciliation (raj'ah) or a new marriage contract. However, if the utterance of the triple divorce occurs after the wife has been taken back (reconciled with), it is considered a single divorce. The summary is that the triple divorce counts as only one, and if it occurs during the iddah, it is considered void and does not constitute a divorce.
