1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who divorces his wife when he is absent. When must his wife commence her ‘Iddah (waiting period )? He (the Imam) said, ‘If just testimony is established for his divorcing her on a known day which gives her certainty, she must commence her ‘Iddah (waiting period) from the day she is divorced; but if she is not certain then she must commence her ‘Iddah from the day she is informed.’”
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا مِنْ أَيِّ يَوْمٍ تَعْتَدُّ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَقَامَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةَ عَدْلٍ أَنَّهَا طُلِّقَتْ فِي يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَ تَيَقَّنَتْ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمَ طُلِّقَتْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَحْفَظْ فِي أَيِّ يَوْمٍ وَ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمِ يَبْلُغُهَا .
