The Ruling on Divorce During Menstruation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to divorce my wife while she is on her period?

Answer:
It is not permissible to divorce during menstruation. Divorce during menstruation is not permissible. Allah the Exalted said:
O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting periodيَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ
[At-Talaq 65:1]
meaning pure from sexual intercourse. So do not divorce the woman during menstruation, nor during a period of purity in which you had intercourse with her. Rather, divorce her during a period of purity in which you did not have intercourse with her. This is what Allah has prescribed. Yes.
