The Difference Between Revocable Divorce and Irregular Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, this is Umm 'Abdullah asking in this question, and she says: What is the revocable divorce (talaq raj'i) and what is the irregular divorce (talaq bid'i)?

Answer:
The revocable divorce is that which is less than three, and without compensation; it is the revocable one, and he may take her back as long as she is in the waiting period ('iddah), a divorce
twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment.مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:229]
. So the revocable divorce is the one in which the husband can take his wife back under the original contract as long as she is in her waiting period, and these are, meaning, their wives by right during the time of the waiting period. As for the irregular divorce, it is that which contradicts the Book and the Sunnah, such as divorce during menstruation, divorce during post-natal bleeding, and divorce of three counts in a single utterance. This is the irregular divorce. Yes.
