    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 241/220/N=1434) As per the best method of talaq there are three types of women: First: a pregnant woman. Second: a woman that is not experiencing haiz due to being so young or due to old age. And the third one is a woman which is except these two types i.e. she is not pregnant and she is experiencing haiz. The first and second types of women may be given talaq any time, but in clear cut word only one talaq should be given; there is no need to give more than one talaq. Also do not give any talaq until iddah is over. However, if you have given any talaq before it then it is necessary to have gap of one month between them otherwise it shall be undesirable method of talaq though talaq shall take place in this case as well. And the method of giving talaq to the third types of woman is to give her only one talaq in clear words during her tuhr (when she is not in her menses) in which you the husband did not have intercourse with her. And do not give any other talaq until the iddah is over.
