Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner, or rather the female questioner, says, Your Eminence,The Shaykh : A woman was divorced with a final divorce. And her menstrual cycle is not regular.
The Shaykh : Three, what?
The questioner : A final divorce.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : A final divorce.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And her menstrual cycle is not regular; it may be delayed by one or two months without the period coming. So what is the waiting period for this woman? And may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes. The waiting period for a woman who menstruates is three menstrual periods, whether the duration is long or short. Accordingly, if a man divorces his wife after she gives birth, the custom is that a woman who is breastfeeding does not menstruate. We say: this woman remains in her waiting period until menstruation returns to her after breastfeeding, and she menstruates three times, based on the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He):[Al-Baqarah 2:228]. This is the obligatory ruling. Yes.
