The waiting period of a woman who married, then her missing husband returned

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, to begin with, regarding a missing husband: the woman has married, and he wants her back but does not want to return the bridal gift. Does she have to observe a waiting period before he takes her back from the second husband?

Answer:
Yes, this is necessary. He must wait until she completes her waiting period from the marriage that took place during his absence, so that she is not pregnant by this husband who came to her unexpectedly. He waits until her womb is clear.
