The Divorced Woman’s Waiting Period Based on Post-Natal Bleeding or Menstruation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a woman is divorced while she is experiencing post-natal bleeding, is the purity from the post-natal bleeding considered the first period of purity and counted in the waiting period, or must she menstruate and then become pure, and is the purity that occurs after the first menstruation following the post-natal bleeding counted?

Answer:
If she is divorced while experiencing post-natal bleeding, she does not count the post-natal bleeding in her waiting period. Or if she is divorced while menstruating, she does not count that menstruation. Rather, she must wait for three new menstruations after the one she is currently in,
Divorced women remain in waiting for three periodsوَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:228]
