What is the ruling on Ibn Baz's statement that divorce does not take effect during menstruation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is reported from Imam Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) that divorce does not take effect during menstruation and is not counted.

Answer:
This is correct; he issues fatwas to this effect, but this is the weaker position. This is a weak opinion, and the narration with us in the Sahih is that it does take effect, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said once, "Let him take her back," and in another narration, "Let him count it," which indicates that it takes effect, but with sin. Yes.
