Question:
A woman’s 'iddah due to her husband’s death had ended, so some women told her she must add three days as a precaution. Is their statement correct?
Answer:
This is forbidden; this statement is forbidden, and they have lied. They must repent from this. It is not permissible to add to Allah’s ruling of four months and ten days; it is not permissible to add to it. So these women who said this must repent to Allah and not speak about Allah without knowledge. Yes.
