Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the waiting period ('iddah) of a woman divorced with a final divorce if her husband divorced her while he was absent from her? And does the divorce of an absent husband differ from that of a present husband?

Answer:
It does not differ, and she enters the waiting period from the moment he divorced her, even if she did not know. She enters the waiting period from the moment he divorced her while he was absent, even if she did not know. Even if she did not know until after the waiting period had passed, she has already exited the waiting period. Yes.
