“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman who because of al-Mula‘inah (condemnation) when it (condemnation) is from the husband becomes unlawful for marriage for him forever; a woman who is married during her waiting period knowing all about her condition becomes unlawful for him forever; a woman divorced three times

قُلْتُ‌ لِأَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع بَلَغَنَا عَنْ أَبِيكَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْمَرْأَةَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لَهُ أَبَداً فَقَالَ هَذَا إِذَا كَانَ عَالِماً فَإِذَا كَانَ جَاهِلًا فَارَقَهَا وَ تَعْتَدُّ ثُمَّ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا نِكَاحاً جَدِيداً[1].
