What is the number of तलाक (divorce pronouncements) that befell the wife, based on the words and actions of divorce mentioned by the husband, taking into consideration the mentioned states of menstruation and purity?
The majority of jurists hold that divorce pronounced during a woman's menstruation is valid, while others maintain its invalidity. The latter view is the adopted by many contemporary jurists, meaning that a divorce pronounced while a woman is menstruating is not considered valid.
The determining factor in divorce is what the husband articulates, not the time the message reaches, nor is a witness to the divorce a condition. So, if he pronounces it, the divorce occurs, and the waiting period () begins immediately after the pronouncement of divorce. The iddah for a menstruating woman is three menstrual cycles.
Jurists differ regarding triple divorce. The most authoritative opinion is that it counts as a single divorce, whether the husband pronounces it with one word or separate words. This is the view chosen by Ibn Taymiyyah and others.
Issues related to divorce require a detailed understanding of the specific circumstances, and it is advisable to present them to Islamic centers.
