Hadith 936
936 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مُرْه فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ لِيُمْسِكْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ بَعْدُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ؛ فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) divorced his wife (Amina bint Ghafar) during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while she was in her menstrual period. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, so he said: Tell him to take his wife back and then keep her in his marriage until her menstruation ends, then her menstruation comes again and ends. Then, if he wishes, he may keep his wife in his marriage, and if he wishes, he may divorce her (but the divorce should be in that period of purity) before having intercourse with her. This is the period of purity in which Allah Almighty has commanded to divorce women.
Hadith 937
937 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ؛ فَقَالَ طَلَّقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا، ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَ مِنْ قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهَا؛ قُلْتُ: فَتَعْتَدُّ بِتِلْكَ التَّطْلِيقَةِ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ
Yunus bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar about (divorce during menstruation), so he informed that Ibn Umar had divorced his wife while she was in her menstrual period. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that Ibn Umar should take his wife back, and then when the correct time for divorce comes, he may divorce her. (Yunus narrated that he asked Ibn Umar:) I asked, "Was that divorce counted?" He replied, "If a person giving divorce is unable to fulfill the requirements of Shariah or is foolish and ignorant (then will the divorce not take place)?"
