I asked Ibn ʿUmar,"(What is said regarding) a man divorces his wife during her period?" He said, "Do you know Ibn ʿUmar? Ibn ʿUmar divorced his wife while she was menstruating. ʿUmar then went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ﷺ ordered him to take her back and when she became clean, he could divorce her if he wanted." I asked (Ibn ʿUmar), "Was that divorce counted as one legal divorce?" He said, "If one becomes helpless and foolish (will he be excused? Of course not). "

What is your opinion about the person who divorced his wife in the state of menses? Thereupon he said: Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) divorced his wife during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ while she was in the state of menses. Upon this Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to take her back and so he took her back and he (further) said: When she is pure, then either divorce her or retain her. Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said that Allah's Apostle ﷺ then recited this verse:" O Apostle, when you divorce women, divorce them at the commencement of their prescribed period" (Ixv 1).

[Machine] Do you know Abdullah ibn Umar? He divorced his wife while she was menstruating, so Umar went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to send her back and if it becomes clear to him that he divorced her, he should divorce her during her purity (when she is not menstruating). Ibn Bakr said, or during her purity. So, I asked Ibn Umar, "Is his divorce considered valid in this case?" He replied, "Yes. What if he becomes impotent or foolish?"
