Sahih al-Bukhari 5118 (Book 68, Hadith 77)
her back till she became clean, and when she got another period while she was with him, she should
wait till she became clean again and only then, if he wanted to divorce her, he could do so before
having sexual relations with her. And that is the period Allah has fixed for divorcing women.
Whenever `Abdullah (bin `Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the questioner, “If you
divorced her thrice, she is no longer lawful for you unless she marries another man (and the other man
divorces her in his turn).’ Ibn `Umar further said, ‘Would that you (people) only give one or two
divorces, because the Prophet (ﷺ) has ordered me so.”
