Musnad Ahmad 304 (Book 2, Hadith 211) #33986
Divorce During Menstruation

SUMMARY: Ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating, and the Prophet advised him to take her back and divorce her when she is pure.

It was narrated that Anas bin Seereen said: I asked Ibn 'Umar about his wife whom he divorced. He said: I divorced her when she was menstruating, and I told 'Umar about that, and he told the Prophet , who said: 'Tell him to take her back, then when she becomes pure, he may divorce her when she is pure". He said: So I took her back, then I divorced her when she was pure. I said: Was that divorce that you gave her when she was menstruating counted as such?' He said: Why wouldn't I count it? It must be counted even if I failed and acted foolishly.
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ طَلَاقِكَ، امْرَأَتَكَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا فِي طُهْرِهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ اعْتَدَدْتَ بِالَّتِي طَلَّقْتَهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ فَمَا لِي لَا أَعْتَدُّ بِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَجَزْتُ وَاسْتَحْمَقْتُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the issue of divorce during menstruation. It was narrated that Anas bin Seereen asked Ibn 'Umar about his wife whom he divorced. He said that he had divorced her when she was menstruating, and then told 'Umar about it who then informed the Prophet. The Prophet advised him to take her back, and then divorce her when she is pure. So Ibn Umar took his wife back, and then divorced her when she was pure again. When asked if this counted as a valid divorce, he said yes even though it may have been foolish of him to do so in the first place. This hadith teaches us that divorcing one's spouse during their menstrual cycle is not allowed in Islam as it does not count as a valid divorce according to Islamic law; rather one should wait until they are pure before divorcing them if necessary at all. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us that even if we make mistakes or act foolishly we should still accept responsibility for our actions instead of trying to deny them or avoid accountability for them; this is an important lesson for everyone regardless of age or faith background.
