Sunan Abi Dawud 2282 (Book 13, Hadith 108) #22573
Waiting Period for Divorced Women

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the waiting period for divorced women and how it was abrogated from the former verse.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three monthly courses; and then said: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months. This was abrogated from the former verse. Again he said: (O ye who believe, if ye wed believing women) and divorce them before ye have touched them, then there is no period that ye should reckon".
حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ ‏{‏ وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُوءٍ ‏}‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏{‏ وَاللاَّئِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ ‏}‏ فَنُسِخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ ‏{‏ وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ ‏}‏ ‏{‏ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the waiting period that divorced women must observe before they can remarry. According to this hadith, a woman who has been divorced must wait three monthly courses before she can remarry. However, if a woman is not sure when her menstrual cycle will start again, then she must wait three months instead of three courses. Additionally, this hadith states that if a man divorces his wife without having touched her in any way then there is no waiting period required at all. This ruling was abrogated from the former verse which stated that there should be a waiting period even in such cases. The main idea behind this ruling is to ensure fairness and justice between men and women when it comes to divorce proceedings.
