Question:
The sister questioner, Umm Sāmī, says: Regarding divorce, O Shaykh, for a woman who has a legal excuse, whether it is the first, second, or third pronouncement of divorce, what is the ruling on such a divorce?
Answer:
It is forbidden, and it is an innovated divorce. Divorce during menstruation or post-natal bleeding is one of the types of innovated divorce. A Muslim should avoid it and stay away from it. If he divorces her while she is menstruating, he should take her back, then keep her, and then divorce her afterwards when she is pure and without sexual intercourse. Yes.
