Hadith 2299
أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "مُرْهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا وَيُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضُ، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ، ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ، أَمْسَكَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he divorced his wife while she was in her menstrual period. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell him to take her back and keep her with him until she becomes pure, then her menstrual period comes again and then she becomes pure again. Then, if he wishes, he may keep her with him, and if he wishes, he may divorce her before having intercourse with her. This is the waiting period (iddah) which Allah the Exalted has commanded that women should be divorced in." (That is, this is the period which Allah the Exalted has commanded in «فطلقوهن لعدتهن».)
