What is the meaning of "Al-Ha'il" in the context of the waiting period (iddah) for a widow, which is mentioned as "four months and ten [days] for Al-Ha'il"? And is Jumada al-Akhira the same as Jumada al-Thani, and Rabi' al-Akhir the same as Rabi' al-Thani?
The term "al-mar'ah al-haa'il" refers to a non-pregnant woman. Also, "Jumada al-Akhirah" is the correct name for what people now call "Jumada al-Thani," and similarly, "Rabi' al-Akhir" is the correct name for what is called "Rabi' al-Thani."
