The period of waiting (‘iddah) for a woman whose husband has died
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh’s night, in which he explains the duration of the waiting period when a husband dies at the beginning, middle, or end of her menstrual cycle.
Answer:
Four months and ten days, meaning one hundred and thirty days, because she does not observe the lunar months and does not base her count on the new moons; she counts by calculation, not by the new moons. So she waits one hundred and thirty days, four months and ten days.
