2022. It was narrated that Yunus bin Jubair, Abu Ghallāb, said: "I asked Ibn 'Umar about a man who divorced his wife when she was menstruating. He said: 'Do you know 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar? He divorced his wife when she was menstruating then 'Umar came to the Prophet ﷺ (and told him what had happened). He ordered him to take her back.' I said: 'Will that be counted (as a divorce)?' He said: 'Do you think he was helpless and behaving foolishly? [i.e., yes, it counts (as a divorce)].'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ ordered him to take her back. The wording 'to take her back' is a proof that the divorce had taken place because returning (taking a wife back) only happens after divorce. Those scholars who are not in favor of the effectiveness of this divorce, they say the wording 'to take her back' means to establish normal spouses' relation as it was before divorce. (I say: This divorce is affective, as quoted earlier in the view of Imam Bukhārī. — Usmani)
