Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does a woman divorced with a minor final divorce have to observe a waiting period for her husband who divorced her? Or is this specific to a woman divorced with a major final divorce?
Answer:
If he died while she was in the waiting period, and it was a revocable divorce—meaning he had the right to take her back—she observes the waiting period because she is his wife. However, if it is a minor final divorce, meaning he took compensation from her and divorced her for that compensation, she does not observe a waiting period because it is a minor final divorce, meaning she took compensation from him for the divorce, or she sought a khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation). This is a minor final divorce. If he dies while she is in the waiting period, she does not inherit from him, and she does not observe the waiting period for widowhood; she observes the waiting period for divorce.
