Etiquettes Of Iddah In Islam APPLICATION description
In Islam, iddah or iddat (Arabic: العدة; period of waiting) is the period a woman must observe after the death of her spouse or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man.[1] Its purpose is to ensure that the male parent of any offspring produced after the cessation of a nikah (marriage) would be known. The length of iddah varies according to a number of circumstances.
The iddah of a woman divorced by her husband is three monthly periods,[2] unless she is pregnant in which case the ‘iddah lasts until she gives birth,[3] or unless the marriage was not consummated in which case there is no `iddah,[4] or unless she does not menstruate, in which case "the scholars say that she should observe an ‘iddah of a full year, nine months for pregnancy and three months for ‘iddah."[3]
For a woman whose husband has died, the `iddah is four lunar months and ten days after the death of their husbands,[2][5] whether or not the marriage was consummated.[4][6]
Islamic scholars consider this directive to be a balance between mourning of husband's death and protecting the widow from criticism that she might be subjected to from remarrying too quickly after her husband’s death.[7] This is also to ascertain whether a woman is pregnant or not, since four and a half months is half the length of a normal pregnancy.[8]
Husbands should make a will in favor of their wives for the provision of one year’s residence and maintenance, unless the wives themselves leave the house or take any other similar step.[9]
