Amr bin Maymun (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that he said: I said to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him): Where should a woman divorced three times observe her waiting period? He said: She should observe her waiting period in her house. I said: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not order Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) to observe her waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him)? He said: That is the woman who put people to trial; she used to be abusive with her tongue towards her in-laws. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: "Observe your waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum; he is a blind man."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), Marwan (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) knew that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) to observe her waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), but their view is that this was done only because of the harm (she caused). Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) adds the explanation that she was abusive towards her in-laws, and Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) and others disliked that she concealed in her hadith the reason for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to observe her waiting period outside her husband's house, fearing that someone hearing it might think that an irrevocably divorced woman may observe her waiting period wherever she wishes.
