Yunus bin Jubair reported: I said to IbnUmar (RA) : A person divorced his wife while she was in the state of menses, whereupon he said: Do you know Abdullah bin Umar (RA) , for he divorced his wife in the state of menses. Umar (RA) came to Allahs Apostle ﷺ and asked him, and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded him that he should take her back, and she started her Idda. I said to him: When a person divorces his wife, and she is in the state of menses, should that pronouncement of divorce be counted? He said: Why not, was he hopeless or foolish?
