Hasnain Baqai is the only Ahl e Sunnat Scholar in India to disagree with the notion of a "triple talaq" divorce. He argues that saying "talaq" three consecutive times in public does not amount to divorce. He said in an interview : "in the Shariat, uttering 'talaq' thrice at one go does not amount to divorce, and some maulanas are kicking up controversy to keep their domination in the community." He supported the central government's rendition of an opinion against the legality of 'triple talaq' divorce for Muslim women, during the proceedings of the Supreme Court.
