She cannot marry before taking Ghusl (bath) for the third Hayd (menses) (after divorce).’ “Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah has said that Ja‘far ibn Sama‘ah would say, ‘A divorced woman becomes stranger to him with the first drop of blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce. It is not lawful for her to marry until she takes Ghusl (bath) because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah has said that she becomes stranger with the first drop of blood because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce and thereafter if she wants to marry she can do so or not to do so. Ali ibn Ibrahim has said that she can marry if so she wants or not to do so but if she marries he must not go to bed with her before Ghusl (bath).”’

He (the Imam) said, ‘It happens when she sees Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if blood discharge begins earlier in her Hayd (menses)-free period?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If blood discharge is before ten days it is part of the previous Hayd (menses), thus he has the control of the affairs but if it is after ten days then it is of the third Hayd (menses) and she gets control of her affairs.’”

He (the Imam) said, ‘It is when blood of the third Hayd (menses) appears. She gets control of her own affairs.’ I then asked, ‘Can she marry in that condition?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, but she must not allow him to approach her before she is clean of blood of Hayd (menses).’
