Hazrat Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a person divorces his wife while she is in a state of istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), and if her third menstruation comes before the usual period of menstruation, then her husband does not have the right to take her back. She should neither perform ghusl (ritual bath) nor pray until more days have passed than the number of days she usually menstruates.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the waiting period (‘iddah) of a woman experiencing continuous bleeding (mustahadah) is one year.

Hazrat Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the waiting period (‘iddah) of a woman experiencing istihada (irregular bleeding) and a woman whose menstruation has no fixed pattern (sometimes occurring twice in a month and sometimes once in several months) is three months. Hazrat Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) also used to say the same.

Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that there was a discussion between Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the woman whose husband has gone missing. Both of them said that she will wait for four years, then the guardian of her husband will divorce her, then she will observe the waiting period (‘iddah) for four months and ten days. Then there was a discussion between the two regarding maintenance, so Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the woman will receive maintenance from the man's wealth because she was held back due to him. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that it is not so, as this would cause loss to the heirs. However, the woman will take from the man's wealth, and if he returns, the wealth will belong to the woman, and if he does not return, then the woman will not receive anything.
