Is the waiting period (iddah) calculated from the date of the verbal divorce acknowledged by the husband, or from the date of the official divorce before theAuthorized Registrar (Ma'dhun)? And is it forbidden to propose marriage to a woman observing her waiting period?
If a husband divorces his wife twice, these divorces are either the first two, leaving him with one more divorce, or they complete the three divorces. In the latter case, she becomes irrevocably divorced from him (baynunah kubra) and is not lawful for him until she marries another husband. Furthermore, following one divorce with another in the same period of purity (tuhr) is against the .
Regarding the start of the ' (waiting period): if the second divorce occurs before the expiration of the 'iddah from the first divorce and there was no reconciliation, then the 'iddah is built upon what has already passed. However, if the second divorce occurs after reconciliation, then the 'iddah restarts from the second divorce.
It is forbidden to explicitly propose marriage to a woman who is revocably divorced, and even indirectly alluding to it is forbidden, because she is still considered to be in the status of a wife.
