The waiting period after death for a woman whose husband died while she was in the waiting period of a revocable divorce

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh: A woman divorced her husband with two pronouncements of divorce, and before she finished her waiting period, her husband died. Two pronouncements? You divorced your husband with two pronouncements of divorce.

The Shaykh:
A revocable divorce.

The questioner:
Quickly.

The Shaykh:
It was revocable for her.

The questioner:
It was a revocable divorce, and before she finished the waiting period of the divorce, her husband died. Does the waiting period of death begin from the time of death?

The Shaykh:
Yes, the waiting period of death has come upon the waiting period of the divorce, so she resumes the waiting period of death; it begins anew with the waiting period of death.
