Hadith 1551
Talaq al-ʿiddah (divorce during the waiting period) is that when a man intends to divorce his wife, he should divorce her during a state of purity (ṭuhr) in which he has not had intercourse with her, and in the presence of two just witnesses. Then, he may reconcile with her on the same day or afterward before she menstruates, and he should have witnesses for this reconciliation. When she menstruates and then becomes pure, he may divorce her a second time without intercourse and in the presence of witnesses. He can then reconcile with her whenever he wishes before she menstruates again, ensuring witnesses are present for the reconciliation. He may also engage in marital relations with her, and she remains with him until she experiences her second menstrual cycle. Once she becomes pure after her second menstruation, he may divorce her a third time while she is in a state of purity without intercourse, again in the presence of witnesses. If he does this, she is permanently separated from him and is not permissible for him until she marries another man. The least form of reconciliation is for him to kiss her or to deny the divorce, in which case his denial of the divorce counts as reconciliation. Reconciliation is permissible without witnesses, just as marriage is, but it is disliked without witnesses due to legal matters concerning ḥudud (Islamic penalties), inheritance, and authority. If a man divorces his wife for the waiting period three times - each once after the other as described - and then she marries another man, the previous husband cannot take her back until that marriage is properly dissolved. If a man divorces his wife three times for the waiting period (ʿiddah), one after another as described, and then the woman marries another man but he does not consummate the marriage with her and subsequently divorces her or dies before consummation, and she completes her waiting period (ʿiddah), it is not permissible for her first husband to remarry her. She can only return to her first husband if she marries another man in a permanent marriage, the second husband consummates the marriage with her, and then divorces her or dies. After completing her waiting period from the second husband, the first husband may then marry her again if he wishes. However, if she marries a man in a temporary marriage (mutʿah), even if he consummates the marriage and then separates from her or dies, it does not make it permissible for her first husband to remarry her. The remarriage to another man must be a permanent marriage that includes consummation. Only after she completes her waiting period following this marriage can her first husband marry her again. If she marries a slave, he is considered one of the husbands, and the same ruling applies. Furthermore, if a man divorces his wife three times for the waiting period, and she marries another man, then returns to her first husband and is divorced again, and this cycle repeats until she has been divorced nine times, she becomes permanently forbidden to him and can never return to him.

Hadith 1552
Hadith.4761 - Al-Mufaḍḍal ibn Ṣaliḥ narrated from Al-Ḥalabi, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
I asked him about the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "And do not retain them to harm them so that you transgress" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:231). Imam (as) replied: "This refers to a man who divorces his wife, and when her waiting period (ʿiddah) is about to end, he reconciles with her, then divorces her again. He repeats this process three times. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, forbade such behavior."
4761 - وَ رَوَى اَلْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ

Hadith 1553
It has been narrated from the Imams (peace be upon them) that talaq al-sunnah (divorce according to the prescribed method) is that when a man intends to divorce his wife, he waits until she menstruates and then becomes pure. He should then divorce her before engaging in intimacy during her waiting period, in the presence of two just witnesses, in a single sitting, and with a single utterance. If he testifies before one man and later before another, such a divorce is not valid unless both witnesses are present together in the same session. If she completes three periods of purity, she is then separated from him, and he becomes like any other suitor. The choice is hers - if she wishes, she may remarry him, and if she does not, she is free not to do so. If he wishes to remarry her, he must do so with a new dowry. If he later wishes to divorce her again, he must do so according to the sunnah, as described. If he divorces her in the prescribed manner, it remains permissible for him to remarry her thereafter. This type of divorce is referred to as talaq al-hadm (divorce of annulment), meaning that if she completes her waiting period and he remarries her, the previous divorce is annulled. Any divorce that does not conform to the prescribed sunnah is invalid. If a man divorces his wife according to the sunnah, he has the right to take her back as long as her waiting period has not ended. Once the waiting period ends, she is separated from him, and he becomes like any other suitor. The testimony of women alone is not acceptable in matters of divorce. The husband who divorces according to the sunnah is responsible for the financial maintenance and housing of his wife as long as she is in her waiting period. They also continue to inherit from one another until the waiting period concludes.

Hadith 1554
Hadith.4762 - Al-Bazanti narrated from ʿAbd al-Karim ibn ʿAmr, from al-Ḥasan ibn Ziyad, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
"It is not appropriate for a man to divorce his wife and then reconcile with her when he has no need or intention for her, only to divorce her again. This is the harm (ḍirar) that Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden. However, if he divorces her and then reconciles with her with the sincere intention of keeping her, then it is permissible."

Hadith 1555
Hadith.4751 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, who said that Abu Abdullah (as) said
"There is no divorce except according to the Sunnah. Indeed, Abdullah ibn Umar divorced his wife three times in one sitting while she was menstruating. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) rejected his divorce and said: 'Whatever contradicts the Book of Allah (swt) must be referred back to the Book of Allah (swt).'"

Hadith.4763 - Al-Qasim ibn al-Rabiʿ al-Ṣaḥḥaf narrated from Muḥammad ibn Sinan that Abu al-Ḥasan Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) wrote to him in response to his questions
"The reason for allowing divorce up to three times is to provide a period of reflection between each instance, from the first to the third, for any renewed affection that may arise or for the calming of anger if it had been present. This process serves as a warning and a means of disciplining the woman and deterring her from disobeying her husband. If a woman engages in what is improper by neglecting her husband's obedience, she becomes deserving of separation and estrangement. As for the reason why a woman becomes permanently forbidden (ḥaram) to her husband after nine divorces, it is a form of punishment to prevent the man from taking divorce lightly and from oppressing the woman. It encourages him to be thoughtful, attentive, and reflective in his actions. This also brings both parties to despair of ever reconciling after nine divorces."
4763 - وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ اَلرَّبِيعِ اَلصَّحَّافُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ

Hadith.4752 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who said to his wife, "If I marry another woman over you or spend a night away from you, then you are divorced." Imam (as) replied: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said
'Whoever sets a condition outside of the Book of Allah (swt), it is neither binding upon him nor for him.'" Imam (as) was also asked about a man who said: "Any woman I marry while my mother is alive is divorced." Imam (as) replied: "There is no divorce except after marriage, and no emancipation except after ownership."

Hadith 1558
Hadith.4764 - Ali ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Ali ibn Faḍḍal narrated from his father that he asked
Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about the reason why a woman divorced for the third time (ṭalaq al-ʿidda) does not become lawful again for her husband "until she marries another husband". Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted and Glorious, has only permitted divorce twice, as He (swt) said: 'Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:229). This applies to the third divorce. Due to the man's persistence in engaging in what Allah (swt) dislikes - namely, pronouncing a third divorce, Allah (swt) made her unlawful for him, and she does not become lawful for him 'until she marries another husband'. This is to prevent people from taking divorce lightly and to stop them from harming women."

Hadith 1559
Hadith.4753 - In the narration of Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah (as), it was reported about a man who said
"My wife is divorced and my slaves are free if I ever drink something forbidden or even something permissible like tilāʾ (a type of fermented drink) ever again." Imam (as) said: "As for what is forbidden, he must never approach it - whether he swore an oath or not. But as for tilāʾ (a type of fermented drink), he has no right to prohibit what Allah (swt) has made lawful. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'O Prophet, why do you forbid what Allah (swt) has made lawful for you?' (Surah At-Tahrim 66:1). Therefore, it is not permissible to swear an oath to forbid what is lawful, to permit what is unlawful, or to sever family ties."
