The waiting period of a young girl who does not menstruate or an elderly woman who has reached menopause is three months.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : If she does not menstruate because she is a young girl, or an elderly woman who has reached the age of menopause, or because she has had a hysterectomy, what is her waiting period? Her waiting period is three months, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:

And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated

واللائي يئسن من المحيض من نسائكم إن ارتبتم فعدتهن ثلاثة أشهر واللائي لم يحضن

[At-Talaq 65:4]

Good.
