فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ لْيُطَلِّقْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ أَوْ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ ‏"

( فَقَالَ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ لْيُطَلِّقهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ ) : فِيهِ جَوَاز الطَّلَاق حَال الطُّهْر وَلَوْ كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَلِي الْحَيْضَة الَّتِي طَلَّقَهَا فِيهَا , وَبِهِ قَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَة وَهُوَ إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنْ أَحْمَد وَأَحَد الْوَجْهَيْنِ عَنْ الشَّافِعِيَّة وَذَهَبَ أَحْمَد فِي إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنْهُ وَالشَّافِعِيَّة فِي الْوَجْه الْآخَر وَأَبُو يُوسُف وَمُحَمَّد إِلَى الْمَنْع. وَاسْتَدَلَّ الْقَائِلُونَ بِالْجَوَازِ بِظَاهِرِ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَة وَبِأَنَّ الْمَنْع إِنَّمَا كَانَ لِأَجْلِ الْحَيْض , فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ زَالَ مُوجِب التَّحْرِيم فَجَازَ الطَّلَاق فِي ذَلِكَ الطُّهْر كَمَا يَجُوز فِي غَيْره مِنْ الْأَطْهَار. وَاسْتَدَلَّ الْمَانِعُونَ…
