1. What is the ruling on a man divorcing his wife with an explicit divorce during her menstrual period multiple times? 2. Does a man's divorce take effect if he says to his wife, "It's not going to end well," intending divorce, when she does a specific thing, and then she does it? 3. Does a man's divorce take effect if he says to his sister, "I will discipline my wife," in a specific month, intending divorce, and that month arrives?
Divorce during menstruation is forbidden but valid with sin, according to the majority of scholars, and this is the stronger and more cautious opinion. So, whoever divorces his wife while she is menstruating has sinned, and his divorce is valid. If it is three pronouncements, she becomes irrevocably divorced from him, and if it is less, it is counted against him. As for a man's statement to his wife: "If you don't stop a certain action (something bad will happen)," or his statement to his wife's sister: "I will discipline my wife," intending divorce, these are promises of divorce and not conditional divorce, so the divorce does not occur unless he actualizes it.
