Islamic Law (Fiqh)Understanding the Durations
Death of Husband (Widow)
The Iddah is precisely 4 lunar months and 10 days (approximately 130 days). During this time, she mourns her husband, avoids beautifying herself, and stays in the home they shared (with exceptions for necessities).
Divorce (Menstruating)
The Iddah is 3 Quru' (three complete menstrual cycles). Because this relies on biological cycles rather than calendar dates, the calculator provides a rough estimate of 3 lunar months (approx. 89 days), but the true Iddah ends after the third cycle is complete.
Divorce (No Menses)
For women who are post-menopausal or who do not menstruate, the Iddah is strictly 3 lunar months (approximately 89 days).
Pregnancy
Whether divorced or widowed, if a woman is pregnant, her Iddah overrides all other timelines. It ends entirely the moment she delivers the child, even if she delivers just hours after the divorce or her husband's passing.
