Explaining the difference between the waiting period of a widow and that of a divorced woman.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So, the waiting period of a widow is simpler than the waiting period of divorce. How? It contains only two things.
If she is pregnant, her waiting period is until she gives birth.
If she is not pregnant, it is four months and ten days. You do not ask whether he entered her or not; you do not ask, because there are only two things regarding the widow. Her waiting period is not free from only two states: either she is pregnant, in which case her waiting period is until she gives birth, or she is not pregnant, in which case her waiting period is four months and ten days.
I hope that this division is exhaustive, and that it is known to students of knowledge so that they can make it clear to the general public, because many people make a mistake in this and do not know it.
