He divorced his wife while she was menstruating. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that and said: Abdullah has divorced his wife while she was menstruating. He said: Tell 'Abdullah to take her back, then leave her until she becomes pure from this menstrual period, then menstruates again, then when she becomes pure again, if he wishes he may separate from her before having intercourse with her, or if he wishes he may keep her. This is the time when Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has stated that women may be divorced.

He divorced his wife while she was menstruating, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Tell him to take her back and keep her until she becomes pure, then menstruates again and becomes pure again. Then if he wishes he may keep her, or if he wishes, he may divorce her before he touches (has intercourse with) her. This is the time when Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has stated that women may be divorced.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said: I divorced my wife during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while she was menstruating. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got angry about that and said: 'Let him take her back, then keep her until she has menstruated again and become pure again. Then if he wants to divorce her when she is pure and before he touches her (has intercourse with her), then that is divorce at the prescribed time as Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has revealed.' 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said: So I took her back, but I still counted the divorce that I had issued to her.

What did you think about a man who divorces his wife when she is menstruating? He said to him: Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما divorced his wife when she was menstruating during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (about that) and said: 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ has divorced his wife while she was menstruating.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Let him take her back.' So he made me take her back. He said: 'When she becomes pure, let him divorce her or keep her.' Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said: 'The Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them before their 'Iddah (prescribed period) elapses.'

He said: The Sunnah divorce is a divorce issued when she is pure (not menstruating) without having had intercourse with her. If she menstruates and becomes pure again, give her another divorce, and if she menstruates and becomes pure again, give her another divorce, then after that, she should wait for another menstrual cycle. (One of the narrators) Al-A'mash said: I asked Ibrahim, and he said something similar.

The Sunnah divorce is to divorce her when she is pure (not menstruating) without having had intercourse with her.

He issued a divorce to his wife when she was menstruating. So 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ went to inform the Prophet ﷺ about that. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Tell 'Abdullah to take her back, then, when she has performed Ghusl, let him leave her alone, until she menstruates (again). Then, when she performs Ghusl following that second period, he should not touch her until he divorces her. And if he wants to keep her, then let him keep her. That is the time when Allah has stated that women may be divorced.

I asked Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہما about a man who divorced his wife while she was menstruating. He said: 'Do you know 'Abdullah bin 'Umar?' He divorced his wife while she was menstruating, and 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ asked the Prophet about that, and he told him to take her back, then wait for the right time. I said to him: 'Was that divorce counted?' He said: 'Be quiet! What do you think if some becomes helpless and behaves foolishly?'

I heard Mahmud bin Labid say: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was told about a man who had divorced his wife with three simultaneous divorces.

'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani رضی اللہ عنہ came to 'Asim bin 'Adiy رضی اللہ عنہ and said: What do you think, O 'Asim! If a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him, and be killed in retaliation, or what should he do? O 'Asim! Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that for me. So 'Asim رضی اللہ عنہ asked the Messenger of Allah about that, and the Messenger of Allah disapproved of the question, and criticized the asking of too many questions until 'Asim رضی اللہ عنہ felt upset. When 'Asim رضی اللہ عنہ went back to his people, 'Uwaimir came to him and said: O 'Asim, what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you? 'Asim رضی اللہ عنہ said: You have not brought me any good. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disapproved of the question you asked. 'Uwaimir رضی اللہ عنہ said: By Allah, I will go and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him in the midst of the people. He said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man finds another man with his wife -should he kill him, and be killed in retaliation or what should he do? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Something has been revealed concerning you and your wife, so go and bring her here. Sahl رضی اللہ عنہ said: So they engaged in the procedure of Li'an, and I was among the people in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When 'Uwaimir رضی اللہ عنہ finished he said: I would have been telling lies about her, O Messenger of Allah, if I keep her.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a man who divorced his wife, and she married another man who had a closed meeting with her then divorced her, before having intercourse with her. Is it permissible for her to remarry the first husband? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No, not until the second one tastes her sweetness and she tastes his sweetness.'

The wife of Rifa'ah Al-Qurazi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I got married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zabir, and what he has is like this fringe.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa'ah? No, not until he ('Abdur-Rahman) tastes your sweetness and you taste his sweetness.'

The wife of Rifa'ah Al-Qurazi came to the Prophet ﷺ when Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ was with him, and she said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I was married to Rifa'ah Al-Qurazi and he divorced me, and made it irrevocable. Then I married 'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zabir, and by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, what he has is like this fringe;' and she held up a fringe of her Jilbab. Khalid bin Sa'eed رضی اللہ عنہ was at the door and he did not let him in. He said: 'O Abu Bakr?

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: She cannot do that until she tastes his sweetness.
