Nafi’ narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) divorced his wife while she was in her menstrual period. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him:“Take her back, then leave her as she is until she becomes pure, then when she experiences her next menstruation, leave her as she is until she becomes pure from that menstruation. Then, if you wish to divorce her, divorce her while she is pure, before you have had intercourse with her. This is the method about which Allah Almighty has commanded that women should be divorced accordingly.”The narrator states: When Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar was asked about this matter, he would say:“If you have given your wife one or two divorces (then you should take her back), because the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to do so. But if you have given her three divorces, then she is forbidden for you until she marries another man and becomes divorced or widowed. You have disobeyed Allah regarding the command He gave you about divorcing your wife.”
