باب إِذَا اخْتَلَطَتْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَيَّامُ حَيْضِهَا في أَيَّامِ اسْتِحَاضَتِهَا:Chapter: When a Woman's Menstrual and Prolonged Bleeding Days Are Confused
Hadith 950
قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ تَحِيضُ، تَمْكُثُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضُ حَيْضَةً، ثُمَّ يَتَأَخَّرُ عَنْهَا الْحَيْضُ، ثُمَّ تَمْكُثُ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَشْهُرَ وَالثَّمَانِيَةَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضُ أُخْرَى تَسْتَعْجِلُ إِلَيْهَا مَرَّةً وَتَسْتَأْخِرُ أُخْرَى، كَيْفَ تَعْتَدُّ؟، قَالَ: "إِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ حِيضَتُهَا عَنْ أَقْرَائِهَا فَعِدَّتُهَا سَنَةٌ". .
It was also said: I asked Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, about this: A man divorced his wife who used to menstruate, and she waited for three months (i.e., did not menstruate), then she menstruated once, then (after coming once) her menstruation stopped and she sat for seven or eight months (without menstruation), then she menstruated a second time. The first time it came quickly, the second time it came after a long delay. So how will she complete her waiting period (‘iddah)? He said: If her menstruation comes irregularly at different times, then her waiting period will be one year.
