which follows the menstrual cycle before he has had intercourse with her, it is a valid (Sunnah) divorce. The companions of Malik said: He should not divorce her until she has reached a state of purity, then menstruated, and then reached purity again, in accordance with what was stated in the hadith. As for us, the Almighty says: {Divorce them for their waiting period}. This man is divorcing her for the waiting period, so he falls under the command. Yunus ibn Jubayr, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, Ibn Sirin, Zayd ibn Aslam, and Abu al-Zubayr have reported from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) commanded him to take her back until she reached a state of purity, then if he wished, he could divorce her, and if he wished, he could keep her. They did not mention that addition, and it is a Sahih (authentic) hadith, agreed upon (by Bukhari and Muslim). Furthermore, because it is a state of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her, it resembles the second state of purity (20), and their hadith is construed as being for recommendation.

1248 - Issue: He said: (And if he divorces her three times in a state of purity in which he has not had intercourse with her, it is also in accordance with the Sunnah, though he would be a leaver of the preferred option).

There is a difference of opinion reported from Ahmad regarding combining the three divorces. It is reported from him that it is not prohibited, a view chosen by al-Khiraqi. This is the school of al-Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, and Dawud. This was also reported from al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and al-Sha'bi, because when 'Uwaymir al-'Ajlani performed li'an (imprecation) against his wife, he said: "If I keep her, I have lied against her, O Messenger of Allah," so he divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) commanded him to do so. This is agreed upon (1), and it was not reported that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) disapproved of it. From 'A'ishah, it is reported that the wife of Rifa'ah came to the Messenger of

الذى يَلِى الحَيْضةَ قبلَ أن يمسَّها، فهو طلاقُ سُنَّةٍ. وقال أصحابُ مالكٍ: لا يُطَلِّقُها حتى تَطْهُرَ، ثم تَحِيضَ، ثم تَطْهُرَ، على ما جاء فى الحديثِ. ولَنا، قوله تعالى: {فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ}. وهذا مُطَلِّقٌ للعِدَّةِ، فيَدْخلُ فى الأمرِ. وقد رَوَى يُونُسُ بنُ جُبَيْرٍ، وسعيدُ بنُ جبيرٍ، وابنُ سيرينَ، وزيدُ بنُ أسْلَمَ، وأبو الزُّبَيْرِ، عن ابنِ عمرَ، أَنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- أمرَه أن يُراجعَها حتى تَطْهُرَ، ثم إن شاءَ طلَّقَ، وإن شاءَ أمسكَ. ولم يذكروا تلك الزِّيادةَ. وهو حديثٌ صحيحٌ مُتَّفَقٌ عليه. ولأنَّه طُهْرٌ لم يَمسَّها فيه، فأشْبَهَ الطُّهْرَ (٢٠) الثَّانِىَ، وحديثُهم محمولٌ على الاسْتِحْبابِ.

١٢٤٨ - مسألة؛ قال: (وَلَوْ طَلَّقَها ثَلَاثًا فِى طُهْرٍ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا فِيه، كَانَ أَيْضًا لِلسُّنَّةِ، وَكَانَ تارِكًا لِلاخْتِيَارِ)

اخْتلَفتِ الرِّوايةُ عن أحمدَ فى جَمْعِ الثَّلاثِ؛ فرُوِىَ عنه أنَّه غيرُ مُحَرَّمٍ. اخْتارَه الخِرَقِىُّ. وهو مذهبُ الشَّافعىِّ، وأبى ثَوْرٍ، وداودَ. ورُوِىَ ذلك عن الحسنِ بنِ عَلِىٍّ، وعبدِ الرَّحمنِ بنِ عَوْفٍ، والشَّعْبِىِّ؛ لأنَّ عُويْمِرَ العَجْلَانِىَّ لمَّا لَاعَنَ امرأته، قال: كذبتُ عليها يا رسولَ اللَّهِ إنْ أمْسَكْتُها. فطَّلَقها ثلاثًا قبلَ أن يأمُرَه رسولُ اللَّهِ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- مُتَّفَقٌ عليه (١). ولم يُنْقَلْ إنكارُ النَّبِىِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-. وعن عائشةَ أنَّ امرأةَ رِفَاعةَ جاءتْ إلى رسولِ
