Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you, the listener Abu 'Abd al-Rahman asks: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted in the interpretation of a verse from Surat al-Baqarah, which is His saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:235]
Answer:
Yes, what is meant by that is the woman’s exit from the waiting period ('iddah) if she is in the waiting period from a husband who divorced her. It is not permissible for the second husband to conclude the marriage contract with her before her waiting period ends. This is the meaning of His saying, “until the document reaches its term,” meaning that her waiting period from the husband who divorced her before him ends. Yes.
