The default for the waiting period is menstruation, and months are a branch of it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : That is, its meaning is that the waiting period is established by menstruation, which is the default, and months are a branch of it. So, if she begins the waiting period in months based on the fact that menstruation has not come to her, and then it comes to her during the months, she is required to observe the waiting period by menstruation, even if only one day remains for her.
among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruatedمِن نِّسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
And with the presence of menstruation, can she be considered one who has passed the age of menstruation? No, she cannot be considered one who has passed the age of menstruation. And with the presence of menstruation, she also cannot be considered a young girl who does not menstruate. So, if the good [menstruation] returns to her, even on the last day of the three months, she transitions to it. Yes. Now, let us conclude regarding the waiting period and the months.

The Shaykh : If the waiting period ended by months before menstruation came, then the waiting period has ended, and she does not go back.

The questioner : Even if it is moments.

The Shaykh : Yes, even if it is after by a moment.

The questioner : Yes.
