سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا مَتَى تَعْتَدُّ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ أَنَّهَا طُلِّقَتْ فِي يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَ شَهْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمَ طُلِّقَتْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَحْفَظْ فِي أَيِّ يَوْمٍ وَ أَيِّ شَهْرٍ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمِ يَبْلُغُهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Al Musna, from Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who divorces his wife and he is absent from her, from when should she observe the waiting period?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the proof is established for her that she is divorced during a known day, and a known month. So let her observe the waiting period from the day she is divorced; and if she has not mermorised during which day, and which months, so let her observe the waiting period from the day it (news) reaches her’.
