Q1: A man divorced his wife three times; is she required to observe the waiting period for three menstrual cycles, or is one menstrual cycle sufficient for her?
A1: His wife must observe the waiting period for three menstrual cycles, and it is not sufficient for her to observe the waiting period for just one menstrual cycle; due to the generality of the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:228] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
