As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

If a man has had sexual relations with his wife after her menses has passed, & then later he decided that he wants to divorce her, does he have to wait until after she has had a new menses in order to pronounce talaaq? Or is it only forbidden for him to make this pronouncement during her menses.

Like for example, her menses ended on Monday. They had relations later that day, & then on Wednesday he decided that he wanted to divorce her. Is this permissiable, or does he have to wait until her next menses has ended?

May Allah bless you for helping me to become more clear in my understanding of this noble deen. Ameen.

As Salaamu Alaikoim,

Praise be to Allah.

It is haraam for a man to divorce his wife while she is on her menses but once she finishes her period he can divorce her:

Narrated Salim That Abdullah bin Umar told him that he had divorced his wife while she was in her menses so 'Umar informed Allah's Apostle of that. Allah's Apostle became very angry at that and said, "(Ibn 'Umar must return her to his house and keep her as his wife till she becomes clean and then menstruates and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to divorce her, he may do so while she is still clean and before having any sexual relations with her, for that is the legally prescribed period for
divorce as Allah has ordered." [Bukhari]

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
