أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ جَابِرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ الْمَرْأَةِ تُطَلَّقُ وَهِيَ الشَّابَّةٌ فترتفع حيضتها من غير كبر، قَالَ: "مِنْ غَيْرِ حَيْضٍ تَحَيَّضُ ؟ !"، وَقَالَ طَاوُسٌ: "ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ".
Amr bin Dinar said: Jabir bin Zaid was asked about the divorce of such a young girl, who, without reaching old age, has stopped menstruating (what will be her waiting period?). He replied: She will observe a waiting period equal to that of menstruating women. Imam Tawus, may Allah have mercy on him, explained: She will observe a waiting period of three months.
