And with the same chain of narration, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he divorced his wife during her menstrual period in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Order him (Ibn Umar) to take her back, then keep her until she becomes pure from her menstruation, then she experiences menstruation again and becomes pure from it. Then if he wishes, he may keep her in his marriage, and if he wishes, he may divorce her before touching her."
