Those who said she is not divorced until the term arrives

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever fixes a time for a divorce, the divorce takes effect when that time arrives.

Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say that if a man fixes a term and pronounces divorce to take effect at it, the divorce does not take effect until that term arrives.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that if a man fixes a term and pronounces divorce to take effect at it, the divorce takes effect when that term arrives.

Jabir bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: if a man says to his wife, "When the new moon of such-and-such month appears, my wife is divorced at the start of the year," what is the ruling? He said: The divorce will take effect only when the appointed term comes; until then the woman is lawful (to him).

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said about a slave of his: He is free after one year.
