Divorce & Separation

الْحُبْلَى تُطَلَّقُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A pregnant woman is divorced once.’”

طَلَاقُ الْحَامِلِ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ.

‘Divorce of a pregnant woman is one and when she gives birth she become stranger to him.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ طَلَاقُ الْحُبْلَى وَاحِدَةٌ وَ أَجَلُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Divorce of a pregnant woman is one and her waiting period is childbirth, if it is the nearer of the two.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ طَلَاقِ الْحُبْلَى فَقَالَ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ أَجَلُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا.

‘It is one and her waiting period is childbirth.’”

طَلَاقُ الْحُبْلَى وَاحِدَةٌ وَ أَجَلُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Divorce of a pregnant woman is one and her waiting period ends with childbirth if it is the nearer of the two.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحُبْلَى إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَوَضَعَتْ سِقْطاً تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ أَوْ وَضَعَتْهُ مُضْغَةً قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ وَضَعَتْهُ يَسْتَبِينُ أَنَّهُ حَمْلٌ تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُضْغَةً.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is pregnant: if her husband divorces her and she gives birth prematurely or by abortion or it is just a lump. He (the Imam) said, ‘Whatever she gives birth to shows that she was pregnant, complete or not. Her waiting period is complete even if it is a lu

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى وَ كَانَ فِي بَطْنِهَا اثْنَانِ فَوَضَعَتْ وَاحِداً وَ بَقِيَ وَاحِدٌ قَالَ قَالَ تَبِينُ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِلْأَزْوَاجِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who divorces his pregnant wife with two children in her womb. She gives birth to one and one remains. He (the Imam) said, ‘She becomes stranger with the birth of one child and she is not lawful for marriage until the birth of the other child.’”*

إِذَا طُلِّقَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ هِيَ حَامِلٌ فَأَجَلُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ إِنْ وَضَعَتْ مِنْ سَاعَتِهَا.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman is divorced when she is pregnant her waiting period is childbirth even if she gives birth in the same hour.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ طَلَاقِ الْحُبْلَى فَقَالَ يُطَلِّقُهَا وَاحِدَةً لِلْعِدَّةِ[1] بِالشُّهُورِ وَ الشُّهُودِ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ هِيَ‌ امْرَأَتُهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ رَاجَعَهَا وَ مَسَّهَا ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً أُخْرَى قَالَ لَا يُطَلِّقُهَا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ لَهَا بَعْدَ مَا مَسَّهَا شَهْرٌ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَانِيَةً وَ أَشْهَدَ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا و

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the divorce of a pregnant woman. He (the Imam) said, ‘She is divorced once for waiting period by months and in the presence of witnesses.’ I then asked, ‘Can he go back to her?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she is his wife.’ (I then asked,) ‘What happens if he revokes the divorce, th

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who divorces his wife with whom he has not gone to bed. He (the Imam) said, ‘She becomes stranger to him and she can marry in the same hour after divorce/”

إِذَا طُلِّقَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي لَمْ يُدْخَلْ بِهَا بَانَتْ بِتَطْلِيقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

‘If a woman with whom her husband has not gone to bed is divorced, she becomes stranger to him by one divorce/”

إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ تَزَوَّجُ مِنْ سَاعَتِهَا إِنْ شَاءَتْ وَ تُبِينُهَا تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا فَرَضَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man divorces his wife before going to bed with her, she does not need to wait for a waiting period. She can marry in the same hour after divorce if she wants. With one divorce she becomes stranger to him and if mahr (dower) is set for her, she deserves half of such mahr (dower)/”

بَانَتْ مِنْهُ فِي التَّطْلِيقَةِ الْأُولَى وَ اثْنَتَانِ فَضْلٌ وَ هُوَ خَاطِبٌ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا مَتَى شَاءَتْ وَ شَاءَ بِمَهْرٍ جَدِيدٍ قِيلَ لَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكُونُ لَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا لَوْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا أَوَّلًا فَأَمَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَا رَجْعَةَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ مِنْ

“There is the case of a man who marries a virgin woman, then divorces her before going to bed with three divorces, one divorce every month. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘With the first divorce she becomes stranger to him and the other two are extra. He is one of thos

إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ وَ تَزَوَّجُ مَنْ شَاءَتْ مِنْ سَاعَتِهَا وَ تُبِينُهَا تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. - حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مِثْلَهُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man marries a woman, then divorces before going to bed with her, she then does not need to count her waiting period. She can marry whomever she wants in the same hour after divorce and she becomes stranger to him by one divorce.’” Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah fr

إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَ تَزَوَّجُ مِنْ سَاعَتِهَا إِنْ شَاءَتْ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man divorces his wife before going to bed with her with one divorce, she becomes stranger to him in the same hour after divorce. She can marry someone if she wants.’”

الْعِدَّةُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ[1].

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘ Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ’Waiting period is because of water (seed, semen)/”

فِي الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ الصَّبِيَّةَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَبْلُغْ وَ لَا تَحْمِلُ مِثْلُهَا وَ قَدْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ وَ ارْتَفَعَ حَيْضُهَا فَلَا تَلِدُ مِثْلُهَا قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا عِدَّةٌ وَ إِنْ دَخَلَ بِهِمَا. - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا مِثْلَهُ.

“There is the case of a man who divorces a girl who is not mature yet and the like of whom cannot become pregnant, but he has gone to bed with her and a woman after menopause when women of her condition cannot give birth. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘ Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘There is no wa

لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا عِدَّةٌ وَ إِنْ دُخِلَ بِهِمَا.

“About the case of a girl whose likes do not experience Hayd (menses) and a woman after menopause abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘They do not need to count waiting period even if he has gone to bed with them.”’

الَّتِي لَا تَحْبَلُ مِثْلُهَا لَا عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman the like of whom cannot become pregnant does not need to count a waiting period.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ ثَلَاثٌ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ الَّتِي لَمْ تَحِضْ وَ مِثْلُهَا لَا تَحِيضُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا حَدُّهَا قَالَ إِذَا أَتَى لَهَا أَقَلُّ مِنْ تِسْعِ سِنِينَ وَ الَّتِي لَمْ يُدْخَلْ بِهَا وَ الَّتِي قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ وَ مِثْلُهَا لَا تَحِيضُ قُلْتُ وَ مَا حَدُّهَا قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ لَهَا خَمْسُونَ سَنَةً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Three kinds of women can marry in all conditions: a woman who does not experience Hayd (menses) and alike whom women do not experience Hayd (menses).’ He (the narrator) has said that I then asked, ‘What is her limit?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One who is less than nine years, one with whom

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man who marries a woman secretly in the house of her family. He wants to divorce her but cannot reach her to know about her Hayd (menses) and does not know when she becomes clean of Hayd (menses). He (the Imam) said, ‘This is like the case of a husband who is abse

قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ رَجُلٌ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى طُهْرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ بِشَهَادَةِ عَدْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَتْ فِي الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ حَلَّتْ لِلْأَزْوَاجِ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ يَرْوُونَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ فَقَدْ كَذَبُوا.

“I once said to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, a man has divorced his wife in Hayd (menses)-free period, in the presence of two just witnesses before going to bed with her. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time her waiting period is complete and she is lawful

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ إِذَا رَأَتِ الدَّمَ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘When a divorced woman experiences blood discharge of the third Hayd (menses) she becomes stranger to him.’”

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَبِينُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَبِيعَةَ الرَّأْيِ قَالَ مِنْ رَأْيِي أَنَّهَا تَبِينُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ مَا هُوَ مِنْ رَأْيِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‌ءٌ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman divorced becomes stranger to her husband at the time of her experiencing the first drop of blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time (after divorce).’ I then said that Rabi‘ah al-Rai’y also is of the opinion that she becomes stranger as soon as she experiences the first drop o

“I once said to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), that a man has divorced his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘He has the right to go back to her as long as she has not seen blood discharge because of Hayd (menses) for the third time (after divorce).”’

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَرِثُ وَ تُورَثُ حَتَّى تَرَى الدَّمَ الثَّالِثَ فَإِذَا رَأَتْهُ فَقَدِ انْقَطَعَ.

“About the case of a woman who is divorced, one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘She inherits and is inherited until she sees blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce and when that happens it (such relation) is cut off.’”

أَوَّلُ دَمٍ رَأَتْهُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ. - حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ مِثْلَهُ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘With the first blood that she sees because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce she becomes stranger to him.’” Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from Safwan from ibn Muskan from Zurarah a similar Hadith.

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَبِينُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنَ الدَّمِ فِي الْقُرْءِ الْأَخِيرِ.

“I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying, ‘A woman divorced becomes stranger to him with the first drop of blood because of Hayd (menses) during the last Hayd (menses)-free period.’”

هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا- مَا لَمْ تَقَعْ فِي الدَّمِ الثَّالِثِ.

‘He has the right to go back to her until she experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’”

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Safwan from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I have heard that Rabi‘ah al-Ra’iy says, “When a divorced woman experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce she becomes stranger

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is divorced; when can she get the control of her affairs? He (the Imam) said, ‘It happens when she sees Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if blood discharge begins earlier in her Hayd (menses)-free period?’ He

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a man who divorces his wife and about when she becomes stranger to him. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is when blood of the third Hayd (menses) appears. She gets control of her own affairs.’ I then asked, ‘Can she marry in that condition?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, but she mu

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A divorced woman must not go out without the permission of her husband until her waiting period is complete after three Hayd (menses)-free periods or three months, if she does not experience Hayd (menses).’”

عِدَّةُ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَحِيضُ. - حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مِثْلَهُ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from Dawud ibn Sarhan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Waiting period for a divorced woman is three Hayd (menses)-free periods or three months if she does not experience Hayd (menses).”’ Humayd has nar

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is divorced and about where she must complete her waiting period. He (the Imam) said, ‘She completes her waiting period in her house and must not go out. If she wants to visit she must go after midnight but not during the day. She does not have the righ

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman divorced must complete her waiting period in her home and it is not proper for her to go out until her waiting period is complete. Her waiting period is three Hayd-( menses)-free periods or three months except if she experiences Hayd (menses).”’

She can complete her waiting period where she wants. He does not owe her maintenance.’ He (the narrator) has s

تَعْتَدُّ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِزَوْجِهَا إِخْرَاجُهَا وَ لَا تَخْرُجُ هِيَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A divorced woman completes her waiting period in her home and it is not proper for her husband to send her out and she also must not go out.’”

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا مَا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ[1] وَ لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman who is divorced and her husband has the right to go back to her, can beautify herself before her husband and he does not need to ask permission to go to her.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ أَيْنَ تَعْتَدُّ فَقَالَ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا.

‘She completes it in the house of her husband.’”

فِي بَيْتِهَا[2] إِذَا كَانَ طَلَاقاً لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا وَ لَا لَهَا أَنْ تَخْرُجَ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا. - عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ مِثْلَهُ.

9. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Wuhayb ibn Hafs from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about the case of a woman who is divorced and about where she counts her waiting period. He (the Imam) said, ‘S

فِي الْمُطَلَّقَةِ تَعْتَدُّ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ تُظْهِرُ لَهُ زِينَتَهَا لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَمْراً.

“About the case of a divorced woman, one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said that she completes her waiting period in her house and she can beautify herself; perhaps Allah brings about something thereafter.’”

لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُطَلَّقَةِ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا بِثَلَاثَةِ قُرُوءٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ إِنْ لَمْ تَحِضْ.

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, that it is not proper for a divorced woman to go out without the permission of her husband until waiting period is complete with three Hayd (menses)-free periods or three months if she does not experience Hayd (menses).”’

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَحُجُّ فِي عِدَّتِهَا إِنْ طَابَتْ نَفْسُ زَوْجِهَا[3].

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘A divorced woman can perform al-Hajj if her husband agrees.’”

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَحُجُّ وَ تَشْهَدُ الْحُقُوقَ‌[1].

“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘A divorced woman can perform al-Hajj and testify about rights.’”

الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَكْتَحِلُ وَ تَخْتَضِبُ وَ تَطَيَّبُ وَ تَلْبَسُ مَا شَاءَتْ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَمْراً لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَيُرَاجِعَهَا.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A divorced woman can use kohl, dyes, perfumes and wear whatever she likes because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, . .perhaps Allah may bring about something thereafter.’ Perhaps something happens in his mind and he goes back to her.’”

قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ شِهَابٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ مِنْ أَيْنَ زَعَمَ أَصْحَابُكَ أَنَّ مَنْ طَلَّقَ ثَلَاثاً لَمْ يَقَعِ الطَّلَاقُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ الطَّلَاقَ لِلْكِتَابِ وَ السُّنَّةِ فَمَنْ خَالَفَهُمَا رُدَّ إِلَيْهِمَا قَالَ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ طَلَّقَ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ وَ السُّنَّةِ فَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَوْ أَخْرَجَهَا فَاعْتَدَّتْ فِي غَيْرِ بَيْتِهَا تَجُوزُ عَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ أَوْ يَرُدُّهَا إِلَى

On what basis your people say that divorce pronounced three times does not make it three divorces?’ I said to him, ‘They believe that divorce is based on the book and al -Sunnah and whatever is against them is returned to them.’ He then asked, ‘What do you say about one who has divorced according to the book and Sunnah

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ يُسْتَرَابُ بِهَا وَ مِثْلُهَا تَحْمِلُ وَ مِثْلُهَا لَا تَحْمِلُ وَ لَا تَحِيضُ وَ قَدْ وَاقَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا كَيْفَ يُطَلِّقُهَا إِذَا أَرَادَ طَلَاقَهَا قَالَ لِيُمْسِكْ عَنْهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman whose Hayd (menses) is confusing, when women like her become pregnant and also women like her do not become pregnant and do not experience Hayd (menses). Her husband has gone to bed with her and about how can he divorce her if he so wants. He (the Imam) sa

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَامَّةِ وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا وَ قَدْ كَتَمَتْ حَيْضَهَا وَ طُهْرَهَا مَخَافَةَ الطَّلَاقِ فَكَتَبَ ع يَعْتَزِلُهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ يُطَلِّقُهَا.

‘He can hold back from her for three months, then divorce her.”’
