Summary
Scholars differ on the meaning of quru’ in the Quran, and both the view of menstruation and the view of purity are regarded as valid. Considering the public interest in applying marriage law, the Perlis Fatwa Committee decided that quru’ means purity in state legislation. The count of purity periods begins from the purity in which the husband pronounces the divorce, and the iddah ends with the arrival of the third menstruation. A divorce pronounced during purity takes effect whether done in the sunnah or bid‘ie manner, but divorcing a wife during menstruation or in a purity after intercourse is forbidden and sinful.
