Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a woman who has not been consummated by her husband have a waiting period if he divorces her?
Answer:
If he has not consummated the marriage with her and has not been in seclusion with her, she has no waiting period. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) made it clear: [Al-Ahzab: 49]. In the most correct opinion, seclusion is equivalent to consummation; because it is a place where consummation is likely to occur, seclusion is a place where consummation is likely to occur. If he had a full consummation, the waiting period becomes obligatory for her.

Does a woman who has not been consummated by her husband have a waiting period if he divorces her?
Answer:
If he has not consummated the marriage with her and has not been in seclusion with her, she has no waiting period. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) made it clear:
O You who have believed, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, then there is not for you any waiting period to count concerning them
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا(Lectures on the Explanation of Bulugh al-Maram, Book of Marriage)
