«ليراجعها ثم يمسكها حتى تطهر ثم تحيض فتطهر فإن بدا له أن يطلقها فليطلقها طاهرا قبل أن يمسها فتلك العدة التي أمر الله أن يطلق لها النساء»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Let him take her back, then keep her until she becomes pure, then menstruates and then becomes pure again; then, if he intends to divorce her, let him divorce her in a state of purity without having had intercourse with her. That is the waiting period ('iddah) according to which Allah has commanded that women be divorced."
