If the waiting period (') is due to divorce, it is calculated from the moment the husband utters the divorce pronouncement. If the divorce is contingent upon the wife performing a certain action, her 'iddah begins from the moment she performs that action. However, if the 'iddah is due to death, it is calculated from the moment of the husband's death.
