Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The woman, or the wife of the missing man: how does she wait?
The Shaykh : First, we must know who the missing man is. The missing man is the one whose news has been cut off.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : So, neither his life nor his death is known, and his wife waits according to the period determined by the judge. The judge looks into the matter of this missing person and sets a period that corresponds to his situation. If this period passes and no news of him is known, she observes the waiting period for death, and then she becomes lawful for other husbands. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a female listener.
