English translation

3585. Ibn 'Umar said: "I divorced my wife when she was menstruating. 'Umar went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Tell him to take her back, then when she becomes pure, if he wants to, let him divorce her." I said to Ibn 'Umar: "Did that count as one divorce?" He said: "Why not? What do you think if some becomes helpless and behaves foolishly." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3555 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمَرُ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُرْهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا، فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ - يَعْنِي - فَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا» قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: فَاحْتَسَبْتَ مِنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُهَا، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ

Commentary

'When she becomes pure': There is clarification in other narrations that when she is purified, and she again enters the period of menstruation, and she is again purified (after passing through the period of menses), and then if he so desires, he may keep her, and if he desires, can divorce her. And this intervening period of purity is meant for the act of returning or taking back. During the state of menstruation, only verbal returning or taking back is possible. (For details, see Hadith 3418)
