[Machine] The waiting period is not a specific time for divorce until a man from the Ansar divorced his wife due to ten bad things that occurred between them. He said, "I will not touch you or have any relations with you." So, he kept divorcing her until she approached the end of her waiting period, then he took her back. Allah, may He be glorified, revealed concerning this situation, as Hisham ibn 'Urwah narrated to me from his father on the authority of 'Aisha, "Divorce is (revocable) twice." [Al-Baqarah 229]. So, Allah established divorce for them three times and they can reconcile in the first or second divorce, but after the third divorce, there is no possibility of reconciliation. Allah, the Almighty, said, "When you divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods and count accurately their waiting period, and fear Allah, your Lord." [At-Talaaq 1], until His saying, "with manifest indecency." [An-Nisaa 19]. The Hadith of Rukana regarding revocable divorce has been mentioned in the Book of Divorce.  

الْعِدَّةُ لَيْسَ لِلطَّلَاقِ وَقْتٌ حَتَّى طَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ امْرَأَتَهُ لِسُوءِ عِشْرَةٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ لَأَدَعَنَّكِ لَا أَيِّمًا وَلَا ذَاتَ زَوْجٍ فَجَعَلَ يُطَلِّقُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا خُرُوجُهَا مِنَ الْعِدَّةِ رَاجَعَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِيهِ كَمَا أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ {الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة 229] فَوَقَّتَ لَهُمُ الطَّلَاقَ ثَلَاثًا رَاجَعَهَا فِي الْوَاحِدَةِ وَفِي الثِّنْتَيْنِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ فِي الثَّلَاثَةِ رَجْعَةٌ فَقَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ} [الطلاق 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ} [النساء 19] وَحَدِيثُ رُكَانَةَ فِي الرَّجْعِيَّةِ قَدْ مَضَى ذِكْرُهُ فِي كِتَابِ الطَّلَاقِ
