أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى طَلَّقَهَا وَهِيَ طَاهِرٌ

He divorced his wife when she was menstruating, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told him to take her back, and divorce her when she was pure (not menstruating).

যিয়াদ ইবন আইয়ুব (রহঃ) ... ইবন উমর (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি তাঁর স্ত্রীকে হায়েয অবস্থায় তালাক দিলে রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে তার নিকট ফিরিয়ে দেন। পরে তিনি তাকে পাক-পবিত্র অবস্থায় তালাক দেন।

عبداللہ بن عمر رضی الله عنہما سے روایت ہے کہ انہوں نے اپنی بیوی کو طلاق دے دی اور وہ حیض سے تھی تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ( اس طلاق کو باطل قرار دے کر ) اس عورت کو انہیں لوٹا دیا۔ پھر جب وہ حیض سے پاک و صاف ہو گئی تو انہوں نے اسے طلاق دی ( اور وہ طلاق نافذ ہوئی ) ۔

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ziyad bin Ayyub], ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Husyaim], ia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Bisyr] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu Umar] bahwa ia menceraikan isterinya ketika ia dalam keadaan haid. Kemudian Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengembalikannya kepada Ibnu Umar, hingga ia mencerainya ketika dalam keadaan suci

What it means

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced his wife while having her menses. Thereupon, his father told the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about that, and he became extremely angry because he had divorced her in a manner that is unlawful and inconsistent with the Sunnah. Then, he commanded him to take her back and keep her until she would become purified after that menstrual period and would get another menses and then become purified of it. Afterwards,

if he had no desire to keep her and decided to divorce her, he should do so before approaching her sexually. That is the period of abstention during which divorce can take place, as commanded by the Almighty Lord. Scholars differed over whether divorce of a menstruating woman is effective, even though it is unlawful and not in conformity with the Sunnah.

The adopted view in this regard is the one based on the narration reported by Abu Dawūd and others: “He returned her to me and did not consider it to be anything.” This narration does not explicitly mention that the divorce was effective or was counted as such by the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). It is noteworthy here to cite the well-known Hadīth that reads: “If anyone does something contrary to our matter, it will be rejected.” [Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
