Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabatany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘He^asws was asked about a man with whom was a young woman and she was menstruating every two months or three months with one menstruation, how should her husband divorce her?’ He^asws said: ‘Her matter is difficult. She would be divorced by a divorce of the Sunnah, with one divorce upon purity, from without copulation, with witnesses. Then she would be left until she menstruates with three menstruations, whenever she menstruates. So when she has menstruated thrice, so she has fulfilled her waiting period’. It was said to him^asws, ‘And if a year passes by and she has not menstruated therein with three menstruations?’ He^asws said: ‘When a year passes by and she has not menstruation with three menstruation, she would be observed with after the year, for three months. Then she has fulfilled her waiting period’. It was said, ‘Supposing he dies or she dies?’ So he^asws said: ‘Whichever of the two dies, the other would inherit, during what is between it and fifteen months’.
