When does the period of ila' begin?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the position of the husband and the wife regarding the expiration of the period? Whose statement is accepted?
The Shaykh : And what did the husband say?
The questioner : That is, the woman said the period has expired, but the husband said the period has not expired, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : The period is determined by the judge.
The questioner : As I said, the judge, the judge took up the case at the very end of the time.
The Shaykh : Well, if the judge does not determine it from the time of the ruling, but from the time of the harm, suppose they did not go to the judge until three months, twenty-nine days, and six hours had passed. How much is left? Six hours. The judge starts from now, four months, because the four months start from the time of going to the judge, not from the time of the harm.
