Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The waiting period () for a woman whose husband has died, if she is pregnant, ends when she gives birth. If she is not pregnant, her waiting period is four months and ten days. The waiting period is calculated in Hijri months. So, if a woman's husband passed away on the 24th of Jumada al- 1441 AH (February 18, 2020), her waiting period would end on the 3rd of Dhul-Qa'dah 1441 AH (June 24, 2020).
