The Travel of the Woman in the Waiting Period to Attend a Wedding During the 'Iddah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman had five days remaining of her waiting period, then she had a dire necessity to travel to attend her cousin’s wedding. So she went and requested permission to stay with her brother for these days. What is the ruling? Is she required to observe additional days?
Answer:
This is a mistake and an error. It is not necessary for her to travel to attend the wedding; it is not necessary. Rather, the wedding is postponed due to the excuse. If it is not postponed, she is not required to attend. She is not required to attend and travel in order to attend the wedding. When the 'iddah is completed—for example, three menstrual cycles for the divorced woman, and four months and ten days for the widow—the 'iddah is completed. Even if the woman in the waiting period neglected something of that during the 'iddah, such as traveling or otherwise, in the case of the widow, in the case of the widow. As for the one who is not a widow, that is, the divorced woman, she is not required to remain in the house.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
