Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Her husband divorced her, and then he died during the waiting period. Does she observe the waiting period for the death, or the waiting period for the divorce?

Answer:
If she inherits from him, she observes the waiting period for the death. If it was a revocable divorce, and he died during her waiting period, then because she is still his wife, she observes the waiting period for the death anew from the time of his death, and she inherits from him. But if it was an irrevocable divorce, she remains in her waiting period. Yes.
