English translation

2179. It was reported from Mālik, from Nāfi', from 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar that he divorced his wife while she was menstruating, during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ regarding this, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Command him to take her back, then keep her until she is pure and then menstruates, and then becomes pure (again). Then, if he desires, he may keep her after that, and if he desires, he may divorce her before touching her. And that is the waiting period that Allāh has commanded to divorce women in.” (Sahih)

2179 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، ثُمَّ لِيُمْسِكْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ»،
