English translation

3587. When Ibn 'Umar was asked about a man who divorced his wife when she was menstruating, he would say: "If it is the first or second divorce, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would tell him to take her back and keep her until she has menstruated again and purified herself, then divorce her before having intercourse with her. But if it was three simultaneous divorces, then you have disobeyed Allāh with regard to the way in which divorce should be conducted and your wife has become irrevocably divorced." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3557 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ،، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَيَقُولُ: أَمَّا إِنْ طَلَّقَهَا وَاحِدَةً أَوِ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا، وَأَمَّا إِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ اللَّهَ فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ، وَبَانَتْ مِنْكَ امْرَأَتُكَ»

Commentary

'And you have disobeyed Allāh with regard to the divorce of your wife what He had commanded you' means by divorcing in the state of menstruation. But that divorce counts. When it is the third divorce, final separation between the couple would take place.
