Cases of Woman Observing Iddah




Iddah Calculation

The death of a husband after the consummation of marriage contract even if before having sexual intercourse so long as conditions of marriage are met entails the wife to observe the Iddah for four months and ten days, because Allah, The Most Exalted Says (What means): "Such of you as die and leave behind them wives, they (the wives) shall wait, keeping themselves apart, four months and ten days. And when they reach the term (prescribed for them) then there is no sin for you in aught that they may do with themselves in decency. Allah is informed of what ye do." [Al-Baqarah/234].

Iddah

In case of divorce, and if neither sexual intercourse nor valid Khilwa (Being in a state of seclusion) took place, Iddah isn't due upon the wife, because Allah, The Most Exalted (What means): "O ye who believe! If ye wed believing women and divorce them before ye have touched them, then there is no period that ye should reckon." [Al-Ahzab/49].





Iddah

عدة المرأة المتوفى عنها زوجها إذا كانت حاملا فعدتها تكون بوضع حملها، لقوله تعالى: (وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ) الطلاق/4، ولحديث: (أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ نُفِسَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ، فَجَاءَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَنَكَحَتْ) رواه البخاري.

Iddah

The Iddah of a divorced pregnant woman is over at the very moment of delivery whether it was a normal one, or abortion procedure regardless of the pregnancy stage, since Allah The Most Exalted, Said (What means): "And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden." [At-Talaq/4], in addition; the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Subai'a Al- Aslamiya gave birth to a child a few days after the death of her husband. She came to the Prophet and asked permission to remarry, and the Prophet (PBUH) gave her permission, and she got married." [Al- Bukhari].

وإذا وقع الطلاق أثناء حيض الزوجة فلا تحسب هذه الحيضة، بل تعتد ثلاث حيضات كوامل غيرها.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to slaughter sacrificial animals in public squares and streets?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The slaughtering of sacrificial animals (udhiyah) should take place in locations designated for slaughter, such as abattoirs (slaughterhouses), or in sites allocated by the relevant authorities for this purpose.
 
It is not permissible to perform slaughtering in a random or haphazard manner—such as in public squares, on roadsides, or in front of houses—in a way that creates health hazards, causes public nuisance, or endangers public safety. And Allah Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on performing the Istikhara prayer after the Witr paryer?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The Istikhara prayer (Prayer for seeking guidance) is a Sunnah. It consists of two units (rak’ahs) performed outside of the obligatory prayers, after which the person supplicates with the traditionally narrated du’a. It is permissible to perform it before or after the Witr prayer, as the Istikhara prayer is recommended at all times except during the disliked times—the periods in which prayer is prohibited. This is because its specific reason (the Istikhara and supplication) occurs after the prayer itself, and any prayer with a subsequent reason is not permitted during the prohibited times. It should be noted that the two rak’ahs of Istikhara are not fulfilled by performing only one rak’ah, nor by a prostration of recitation (Sajdat al-Tilawah), nor by a funeral prayer (Janazah). And Allah the Exalted knows best.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) obligatory on indebted merchant?

Debt doesn`t abrogate the dueness of Zakah, thus a debtor who has money, articles of merchandise, or other Zakah funds at his disposal should pay their Zakah.

What is the ruling on fasting only on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

In voluntary fasting (nafl), it is disliked (makruh) to fast only on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
However:
● If one fasts a day before or after Friday, then that is permissible.
● The same applies to Saturday and Sunday—fasting them along with another day removes the dislike.
● Fasting all three days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) together is not disliked.
If any of these days coincide with a recommended fasting day, such as Arafah or Ashura, then fasting it alone is not disliked.
