What do you think if a man divorces his wife while she is menstruating? He said: Abdullah ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).So Umar asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: Abdullah ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating.

Ibn Umar said: The Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Qur’anic verse: O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them in the beginning of their waiting period.” Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Yunus b. Jubair, Anas b. Sirin b. Jubair, Zaid b. Aslam, Abu al-Zubair and Mansur from Abu Wa’il on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar.

Then if he desires, he may divorce her and if he desires he may keep her.

All the versions of this tradition contradict the one narrated by Abu al-Zubair.
