Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wide
Surah at-Talaq is Medinan, revealed in the period when family law was being regulated in Medina. It lays down that divorce is to be pronounced with regard to the waiting period, fixes the lengths of the idda, and secures the divorced woman's rights to housing and maintenance. Reports connect the application of these rulings to concrete cases such as Ibn Umar divorcing his wife during her menses; the surah frames the law of divorce within God-consciousness.
