حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ؛ فَقَالَ طَلَّقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا، ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَ مِنْ قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهَا؛ قُلْتُ: فَتَعْتَدُّ بِتِلْكَ التَّطْلِيقَةِ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ.
Yunus bin Jubair Narrated from:
Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife while she was having her menses. 'Umar (bin Al-Khattâb) asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who said, "Order him (your son) to take her back, and then divorce her before her period of the ' Iddah has elapsed." I asked Ibn 'Umar, "Will that divorce (during the menses) be counted?" He replied, "If somebody becomes helpless and behaves foolishly (will his foolishness be an excuse for his misbehaviour)?” [1] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 250, Vol. 7)
[1] If, out of foolishness somebody divorces his wife while she is menstruating, the divorce is valid. (See Fath Al-Bârî , Vol. II, P. 267 for details).
