Divorcing her while she is menstruating or in a purity during which intercourse occurred is not a sunnah-compliant divorce. Thus the sunnah is observed from two angles: first, the number—he issues one divorce and then leaves her until her waiting period is over; and second, the timing—he pronounces it in a purity unaccompanied by intercourse.
