Chapter on the Divorce of a Woman Who Has Not Reached Menstruation, One Reached Menopausal Age, One with Irregular Menstruation, and One with Uncertain Menstruation

وَ- رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: عِدَّةُ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَحِيضُ وَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَطْهُرُ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ الَّتِي قَدْ يَئِسَتْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عِدَّةُ الَّتِي يَسْتَقِيمُ حَيْضُهَا ثَلَاثُ حِيَضٍ.
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Aban ibn Uthman, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: "The waiting period ('iddah) for a woman who does not menstruate, for a woman experiencing continuous irregular bleeding (mustahadah) who does not become pure, and for a young girl who has reached menopause is three months. As for a woman whose menstruation is regular, her waiting period is three menstrual cycles."
