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].

المرأة المطلقة غير الحامل إن كانت من ذوات الحيض فعدتها ثلاث حيضات لقوله تعالى: (وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ) البقرة/228.
وإذا وقع الطلاق أثناء حيض الزوجة فلا تحسب هذه الحيضة، بل تعتد ثلاث حيضات كوامل غيرها.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on swallowing phlegm while fasting?

If a fasting person intentionally swallows phlegm, their fast is invalid, as it is possible to avoid it.
However, if they swallow it unintentionally, their fast remains valid.
Phlegm is impure and should be avoided.

What is required of one who doubts the number of rakʿāt during prayer?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
If a person doubts the number of rakʿāt he has prayed, he should build upon the lesser number, as that is what he is certain of. He should then perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujūd al-sahw) before the final salām at the end of the prayer. ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When any one of you is in doubt during his prayer and does not know whether he has prayed three rakʿāt or four, let him pray one more rakʿah and then perform two prostrations while seated before the salām. If the rakʿah he prayed was a fifth, these two prostrations will make it even; and if it was the fourth, then the two prostrations serve as a humiliation for the devil." (Reported by Abū Dāwūd.)
It is stated in al-Muqaddimah al-Ḥaḍramiyyah — one of the foundational texts of the Shāfiʿī school: "If one doubts whether he has prayed three rakʿāt or four, he is obliged to build upon the lesser number."
However, if such doubt recurs repeatedly and reaches the level of obsessive whispering (waswasah), he should not build upon the lesser number in that case — rather, he should build upon the greater number. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Are school exams a valid excuse for breaking the fast in Ramadan?

School and university exams are not considered a valid excuse for breaking the fast, as most students take their exams while fasting without experiencing extreme hardship. Fasting does not conflict with exam preparation, and a Muslim seeks strength in obedience to Allah for both worldly and spiritual matters.

What is the ruling on deliberately breaking the fast while being capable of fasting?

Whoever intentionally breaks their fast in Ramadan without a valid excuse has committed a major sin and bears great guilt. They must repent, seek forgiveness, refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and make up for that day after Ramadan.
They have lost an immense reward, which cannot be compensated even by fasting an entire lifetime as a voluntary act, because an obligatory fast cannot be equaled by voluntary fasting.
If the fast was broken through sexual intercourse, the person must:
● Make up for the missed fast (qada), and
● Perform kaffarah by fasting two consecutive months.
● If they are unable to do so, they must feed sixty needy people.
