The waiting period of a woman whose husband died before consummation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The tribe of the thing. If it was not her husband before he benefited.
The Shaykh:
No, if he contracted the marriage with her and then died, the waiting period is obligatory for her, even if he did not consummate the marriage. The divorce that is without a waiting period is the divorce before consummation. As for the divorce by death, she has a waiting period, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled, and the Companions ruled likewise. Yes, because this wife falls under the general category of wives. Yes.
