Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that after giving divorce, a man has the right to take his wife back until the woman has not performed the ritual bath after her third menstruation.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say that after giving divorce, a man has the right to take his wife back until the woman has not performed the ritual bath after her third menstruation.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that after giving divorce, a man has the right to take his wife back until the woman has not taken a bath after her third menstruation.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that after giving divorce, a man has the right to take his wife back until the woman has not taken a bath after her third menstruation.

Hazrat Abu Bakr, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Ibn Masood, Hazrat Abu Darda, Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit, and Hazrat Abdullah bin Qais Ashari (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that after giving one or two divorces, a man has the right to take his wife back until she has performed the ritual bath after her third menstruation. As long as she is in her waiting period ('iddah), both of them will remain heirs to each other.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that if, after the woman goes to the bathhouse but before pouring water, he reconciles with her, then he is entitled to her.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after giving divorce, a man has the right to take his wife back until the woman has not taken a bath after her third menstruation.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if a man goes to his wife at the time when she is about to perform ghusl after becoming pure from her third menstruation, and he says to her, "I have taken you back," and the woman says, "You are lying, you are lying," and pours water over her head, even then that man will have more right to that woman.

Hazrat Dahhak bin Muzahim, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that once a woman married a young man. That young man gave her one or two divorces. Then he came to her when she was performing the ritual bath (ghusl) after her third menstruation. He said to her, "O so-and-so! I have taken you back (in reconciliation)." The woman said, "You are lying! You cannot do that." Then this case was presented before Hazrat Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. Hazrat Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, was also sitting with him. Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! What is your opinion?" He asked the woman under oath, "Had you poured water over your body?" She said, "No." Hazrat Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said to the young man, "Take her by the hand and take her away."
