2021. It was narrated that ‘Abdullāh said: “Divorce according to the Sunnah means divorcing her with one divorce in each cycle when she is pure, then when she becomes pure the third time, then he pronounces divorce again, and after that she must wait one more menstrual cycle.” (Hasan)
2021 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: " فِي طَلَاقِ السُّنَّةِ: يُطَلِّقُهَا عِنْدَ كُلِّ طُهْرٍ تَطْلِيقَةً، فَإِذَا طَهُرَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ، طَلَّقَهَا، وَعَلَيْهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَيْضَةٌ "

a. This is in such a case when the husband is determined for permanent separation and thus a third, final and irrevocable divorce will take place, after which returning the wife into a bond of marriage becomes impossible. It is better to let the waiting period pass after one divorce, if the husband has no intention to return to her, and thus the woman will come out of the bond of marriage, and thereafter, if there is a chance of reconciliation, they may live together as wife and husband after renewing the bond of marriage (after a new marriage contract.) b. If a wife is returned after the first divorce, and then the second divorce is issued, the waiting time for the second divorce is also three menstruation periods; the return of a wife, during this waiting time, without a new bond of marriage is allowed.
