The waiting period of a woman divorced with a revocable divorce if her husband dies

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman was divorced with a revocable divorce, so she went out to her parents' house during the waiting period and stayed there. During that time, her husband who had divorced her passed away, and she was still in the waiting period of the divorce. Does she complete the waiting period of the divorce, or does she start a new waiting period for the death? Does she have to prepare? Is she required to be in the waiting period for the death in the house of her husband who divorced her?

Answer:
When her husband passed away, her waiting period for the divorce ended, and her waiting period for the death begins. Her waiting period for the death begins from the time her husband passed away. She is bound by the ruling of the woman whose husband has died, regarding the duration of four months and ten days. So she moves from the waiting period of divorce to the waiting period of death from the time her husband passed away. Yes.
