Question 1634) - The bleeding of the third menstruation of the divorcee has stopped. Does this mean that she cannot be taken back?

A: If it stopped upon ten days she cannot be taken back and the 'Iddah is finished even if she did not make Ghusl yet. If it stopped before ten days then she can be taken back until she makes Ghusl, or a Waqt of Salah passes over her, or she makes Tayammum and prays Salah. This is according to Imaam Abu Hanifah RAH. and Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH. According to Imaam Muhammed RAH. if she makes Tayammum he cannot take her back even if She has not prayed.
