Question

My husband divorced me whilst i was on my monthly period.. is that a valid divorce..

Answer

Bismillahi Ta'ala,

Walaikum Assalam Warahmatullah,

It is haram and impermissible for a husband to give divorce during the monthly period of a woman. However, a divorce given during the monthly period (haidh) is valid and the husband would be sinful for giving it during this time of the month. 

The husband must take the wife back (Rujoo') and then after the period is finished, he may choose to issue divorce again or keep her. He has lost one chance of divorce in this manner, and is now left with only two chances.
