What Does "Qur" Mean?
Question :
Allâh Almighty says about divorced women, that they:
"..shall wait for three Quru' (menstrual periods)."
What does "Quru"" mean?
Answer:
In the Arabic language, "Qur," the singular for "Quru," sometimes means the time when a woman is pure, and sometimes means the period when she menstruates. In this verse, however, it means the menstrual period; this is correct based on two reasons:
1) When this word is used in the Shari'ah, for the most part, it means the menstrual period.
2) The majority of the Companions hold that it means the menstrual period.
