Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Another question: She asks about the difference between ihdad and the absolute 'iddah. She says: What is the idea?
The Shaykh:
She may go out to her room, but ihdad is restrictive; one avoids certain things, such as kohl and jewelry. This is specific to ihdad.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. She is asking about the difference between the duration of ihdad being four months and ten days, and the waiting period for a divorced woman being three months. She says: What is the wisdom behind the difference in these periods of ihdad?
The Shaykh:
Our Lord is the Wise, the All-Knowing of what befalls, and He possesses perfect wisdom, Blessed and Exalted is He.
