The waiting period of a woman whose husband divorced her and did not take her back until after six months

Question:
May Allah reward you. In his other question, he says: A man divorced his wife with one pronouncement of divorce and did not take her back until after six months. What is he required to do?

Answer:
If this woman is still in her waiting period—if she is pregnant and has not yet given birth, and he took her back before she gave birth, and his divorce was less than three pronouncements—then this taking back is valid because she is still in her waiting period. Allah the Exalted said: . As for if she is not pregnant, if she is not pregnant, then there is a distinction here. If she is one who menstruates, her waiting period is three menstrual cycles, three menstrual cycles. After that, she is not lawful for him except with a new contract, provided he has not exhausted the number of three divorces. And if she does not menstruate due to youth or menopause, her waiting period is three months. Allah the Exalted said: . As for if she menstruates but her menstruation is irregular or delayed, she remains in her waiting period until the menstruation returns, and she observes the waiting period based on it. Yes.
