Islamic Authority Explains Women's Mourning Period
Al-Azhar Dar al-Iftaa clarified that a woman whose husband has passed away must observe a waiting period (iddah) of four months and ten days if she is not pregnant, regardless of whether she was married with a dowry or not, whether she is young or old, menstruating or not. However, if she is pregnant, her waiting period is until she gives birth. There is some difference of opinion among scholars regarding which time is more authoritative; the majority hold that the waiting period ends with the delivery of the fetus, while some scholars, such as Ali ibn Abi Talib and Ibn Abbas, consider the waiting period to be the longer of two times: either the completion of the pregnancy or the passing of the specified time after death.
