Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If someone divorces his wife and then accuses her during her waiting period, then if he has given three divorces, the prescribed punishment will be carried out and the child will be attributed to him. And if he has given one divorce, then li'an (mutual cursing) will be done. Jabir bin Zaid said: The statement of Ibn Umar is more preferable than that of Ibn Abbas.

It is narrated in the same manner from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone gave three divorces and then accused his wife during the waiting period, he will perform li'an (mutual cursing).

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone first accused his wife (of adultery) and then gave three divorces, then li'an will not take place.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If, after an irrevocable divorce, the wife is accused during her waiting period, then li'an will take place.

Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone gives his wife three divorces and accuses her during the waiting period, then he will perform li'an during the waiting period. If the waiting period ends, then the prescribed punishment will be carried out and li'an will not take place.

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone divorces his wife and then accuses her (of adultery), whether she is pregnant or not, he will perform li'an (mutual cursing). And if, after three divorces, he accuses her during the waiting period, then if she is pregnant, he will perform li'an, and if she is not, the prescribed punishment (hadd) will be carried out.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: There is no li'an for the one who does not have the right to take her back.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that when a man gives his wife three divorces and she becomes pregnant, then he should perform li'an with her. Harith Akli said: O Abu Umar, does Allah Almighty not say in His Book: «وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ» , so does she remain a wife after divorce? Sha'bi said: I feel shy to turn away from the truth after seeing it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that if a person accused his wife of adultery, then she obtained khula (divorce), he said: If she took wealth on account of the accusation, then the hadd (punishment) will be applied and she will not return the wealth; if li'an (mutual cursing) was done, then she will return the wealth.
