But did the ruling change after the death of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, but did the ruling change after 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?
The Shaykh : Yes, after two years of 'Umar's caliphate, the practice of pronouncing three divorces at once became widespread, which is a known form of taking the verses of Allah in mockery.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Whether we say it is hastening the final divorce, as that is the basis of the ruling in the view of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), or we say it contradicts the saying of the Exalted,[At-Talaq 65:1] because repeating the divorce to the divorced woman during the waiting period is not a divorce for the waiting period.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is taking the verses of Allah in mockery, so 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that he should compel people to be bound by what their words imply, as a punishment for them, not as a legislative ruling, because the Shari'ah ended with the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The Shaykh : But he said (may Allah be pleased with him) "I see that people have hastened in a matter in which they used to be patient, so if we were to enforce it upon them" and this is evidence that he did so through independent legal reasoning and as a punishment so that people would not hasten in this matter.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This message reached us from the news from the presenter, A.A.M.H. He says in his message: I hope you will present my questions to the Shaykh who answers on the program, and may you have abundant thanks. He says.

O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period
