The Difference Between Sunnah Divorce and Innovated Divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We now move on to a message received by the program from Jeddah, sent by a listener there, his brother Hamdi Khalil, an Egyptian, who says: I ask you to be kind enough to explain the difference between Sunnah divorce and innovated divorce?
Answer: Sunnah divorce is that which occurs during pregnancy or when the woman is in a state of purity in which her husband has not had intercourse with her. This is Sunnah divorce, and it is to be a single pronouncement only; she is divorced, or has been divorced, with a single pronouncement. This is to be done when she is pregnant or when she is in a state of purity in which he has not had intercourse with her. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Ibn 'Umar when he divorced his wife while she was menstruating:
Take her back, then keep her with you until she becomes pure, then she menstruates, then she becomes pure, then if you wish, divorce her in a state of purity or while she is pregnant, before you have touched her.راجعها ثم أمسكها حتى تطهر ثم تحيض ثم تطهر ثم إن شئت طلقها طاهراً أو حاملاً قبل أن تمسها
In another wording:
Then let him divorce her before he touches her.ثم ليطلقها قبل أن يمسها
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 16:20
In another wording:
divorce her while she is pure or pregnantطلقها طاهراً أو حاملا
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1176Sahih (Darussalam)
.
The point is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to divorce her in a state of purity in which he had not touched her, or when she was pregnant. This is the meaning of the statement of the Exalted and Majestic is He:
O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting periodيا أيها النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ
[Al-Talaq:1]. The scholars said: The meaning of this is that they are in a state of purity without intercourse, or in a state of pregnancy. This divorce is for the waiting period, and it is to be a single pronouncement...
