Amir al-Sha'bi said: We went in to Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her where a woman divorced three times should spend her waiting period. She said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me permission, when my husband had divorced me, to spend my waiting period among my own family."
