Is it permissible for me to take back my wife whom I divorced with an irrevocable (Bā'in) divorce during her waiting period (Iddah), or must I wait until her Iddah ends?

Divorce by way of exculpation is an irrevocable divorce ( Ba'in). A woman irrevocably divorced (Talaq Ba'in) is not permissible for her husband except through a new marriage contract. It is permissible for him to contract her marriage during her ' (waiting period) from him, according to the majority of scholars.
