The Ruling on Divorce During the Post-Natal Bleeding Period

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s position is that it is permissible to divorce a woman during the post-natal bleeding period.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to divorce her during the post-natal bleeding period or during menstruation, because 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 that they are pure, not in a state of menstruation. This is the meaning of their waiting period: that they are pure, not in a state of menstruation. Yes.
