The waiting period of a woman whose husband has died
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 13767 )
Q: My husband passed away in the third month of the year 1410 AH, approximately. When my husband died, I experienced swelling and suspected that I was pregnant. From that date until now—the date of the fatwa is 23/8/1411 AH—nothing has happened to confirm a pregnancy. Today, I am observing the waiting period, knowing that my menstrual cycle continues regularly and the doctor’s tests indicate that I am not pregnant. .
A: If the matter is as you described, you have completed the waiting period by the passage of four months and ten days. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
