The waiting period () for divorce is of two types:
- Revocable divorce ( Raj'i): The divorced woman has the right to leave with her husband's permission, because she is still considered his wife, and he is obligated to financially support her.
- Irrevocable divorce (Talaq Ba'in): The divorced woman has the right to leave even without permission, because the marital relationship has ceased to exist, and she is not entitled to financial support unless she is pregnant.
