Hadith 878

أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "إِذَا حَاضَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ فِي شَهْرٍ، أَوْ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا شَهِدَ لَهَا الشُّهُودُ الْعُدُولُ مِنْ النِّسَاءِ أَنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَا يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهَا الصَّلَاةَ مِنْ طُمُوثِ النِّسَاءِ الَّذِي هُوَ الطَّمْثُ الْمَعْرُوفُ، فَقَدْ خَلَا أَجَلُهَا"، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: سَمِعْت يَزِيدَ بْنَ هَارُونَ، يَقُولُ: "أَسْتَحِبُّ الطُّهْرَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ".
Imam Ibrahim Nakha'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a woman experiences menstruation three times in one month or forty days, then? He said: Truthful and just women should testify that this has happened, so that prayer becomes forbidden for her due to menstruation, then its period is complete. Abu Muhammad Imam Darimi said: I heard Yazid bin Harun saying: I consider the period of purity to be fifteen days as correct.

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 876 to 878)

That is, the waiting period (‘iddah) of a divorced woman is three menstrual cycles (hayd). If, within one month or forty days, a woman experiences menstruation three times, and the women residing in the house testify that during those forty days she missed prayer three times (due to menstruation), then her waiting period (‘iddah) of divorce—three menstrual cycles—has been completed.
