\n\tFatwa ID: 01572<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn surah baqarah 2:228 does the word al Qur' refer to the time of menses or the time of purity from menses? <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu in the Holy Quran says:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"And those women who are divorced should wait for three 'Quruu'." (Surah Baqarah v.228)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe verse has stipulated that the waiting period for a divorced woman, in order to remarry, is three 'Quruu'. The word Quruu in the Arabic language is used to denote both the monthly menstruation period (Haydh) and the time in between the monthly period (Tuhr). If the former meaning were taken, then the rule would be that a divorced woman should wait for three monthly menstruation periods (Haydh) to elapse. If the later meaning is taken, the rule would be that the divorced woman should wait until three months in between her monthly menstruation period (Tuhr) have expired. The question is which one of these two meanings applies. (Mufti Taqi Uthmaani in his Contemporary Fatawa)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tImam Abu Hanifa \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h is of the view that it means menstruation periods whereas Imam Shafi \"ra\u1e25imahull\u0101h says it means the time in between the monthly period (Tuhr).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hanafi evidence is as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \n\t\t\tA hadith narrated by Saaidah Umm Habibah \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu which can be found in Sunan Nasai. (p.28 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    \n\t\t\tSaaidah Aaisha \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu hadith which can be found in Sunan Abu Dawud p.304 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tThe Shafi evidence is as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      \n\t\t\tA statement of Saaidah Aaisha \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu. (Sunan Baihaqi p.682 v.7 & Musanaf Ibn Abi Shaibah p.148 v.4)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      \n\t\t\tThe incident of Saaiduna Ibn Umar \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu divorcing his wife. (Sahih Bukhari p.938 v.2)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
