    If a person does not complete her iddah andbreaks the law of iddah ten they are sinful and ned to repent for the sin comitted.One should make sincere toubah for having broken the command of Allah.

    Mufti sahib mein janana chahti hoon k agar aik larka aur larki 2 gawahon ki mojodgi mein aijab–o-kabol kar lain yani nikah kar lain aur un ka apas mein jhagra ho jay aur gusay mein larka 3 bar talaak de dey tu kia halala k badh wo phir se apas mein shadi kar saktay hain… unho ne aik banday ko halala k ley razi kar lia hay
    dono aik dosray se bohat mohabbat kartay hain aur galatfamhi mein jhagary ki waja se talak hoi.. Talaak deye howay 6 months se ziada arsa ho chukka hay aur larki apnay walidain k ghar hi hoti hay aur siway larkay k 2 doston aur larki ki sister k un k baray mein kisi ko ilm nahi hay…
    Pehlay un k ghar waly un k rishtay k ley razi nahi thay tabhi unhon ne chup k shadi kar li Ab un k ghar walay un ki zid ki waja se un ki shadi k ley maan gay hain..
    Masla yeh pochna hay k ab Larki ki iddat ka kia ho ga…? Kia os ki iddat talak k 3 months badh pori ho gai thi jab k wo dono apas mein ab tak miltay rahay talaak k badh bi..?
    Wa alaykumusSalaam.
    Tien talaaq ke baad agar tien haiz mukammal hojaaiy tu iddat khatam. tien talaaq dene ke baad biwi shor ke liye haraam he aur unka milna zinaa he.Kisi ko halaalaa ke liye tayyar karna aur woh raazi hojaanaa sharm ki baat aur sakht gunaa he.kaise shohr he jo raazi ho kar apnesaabika biwi ko kisi aur ke paas bejhde aur kaisi biwi he jo apne aapko kisi aur ke hawaalaa kare Issi wajah se hadees men ALLAH ki laant ho halaalaa kane wale aur karaane wale par.Baat theek he ke ab is halaalaa ke baad aur aurat phir se iddat guzaarne ke baad apne pehle wale shohr se phir nikaah karsakti he.(halaalaa sirf nikaah ke saath hota he aur phir talaaq dene se aur aurat us halaalaa ki iddat guzaaene ke baad apne pehle wale shohr ke liye phir se halaal hoti he aur pir se nikaah parhaani paregi.) Lekin raazi hokar kisi se yah karaadena ghalt aur ghunnaa he.

  4. if a person give 3 talaaqs to his wife.. n want to re-marry her after halala.. they dont want to tell anyone about their seperation… n during iddat they met once n hug n kiss each other but have no sexual intercourse what is the standing of girls iddat..? is her iddat period be effected or not..? plz reply
    ASSALAAMU ALAYKUM.
    What happened was a sin and requires toubah and istighfaar.However it does not have any effect on the iddat and it will remain as it was.

  5. Assalam o Alaikum,
    Sir can you please confirm me the exact time period of iddat after khulla.
    thankyou
    The iddat of khulla and talaaq is the same as khullaa is equilvalent to one talaaq baain. It is the completion of three haidh periods after the khullaa has taken place.

  6. respected sir,
    i have taken khulla from my husband due to some unavoidable reasons and now im in my iddat period. here the people say i can go back to my husband with in three months of iddat so khulla will be dissolved. i want to as is this possible in islam and after three months of idat can i go back to him or then hilala is going to be necessary in khulla too. please reply me.
    Assalaamu alaykum
    Khula is equivalent to one talaaq baain. To get back to your previous husband , a new nikaah with a new mehr will be necessary. Also one point to note is that iddat is not three months but rather three cycles of haidh.

  7. Assalaamu alaykum
    My sister has taken khula (by court degree)as his husband is in USA from last 8 years and there is no contact even by phone between them.

    Now sir I want to to Khnow the shari position of this khula is it equal to talaq???. What will be the time period for iddat as we want to marry her to our cousin.
    Waalaykumus Salaam

    Khul’aa is equivalent to AtalaaqBaain and like allother talaqsit requires the iddah of Talaaq which is the duration of three menses passing.

  8. Assalamu Alaikum
    I gave my wife Talaq-e-Bain last year and now would like to renew Nikah. please answer followings;
    1. what is the iddah period of a woman divorced with Talaq-e-Bain?
    2. what are the requirements for renewing Nikah
    3. Is it necessary to have one witness of Nikah from girl’s family
    4. Will I have to give Mehr for this Nikah. as i already have given when i married her first.
    Wa alaykumus salaam
    1. talaaq baa’in’s iddat is the duration of three cycle of menses of the wife like any other talaaq if she is not pregnant. If pregnanat then till the child is born.
    2.Once talaaq baa’in takes place husband and wife relationship cease to exist. The renewal of nikaah is like any other nikaah, requiribg witnesses, a new mehr and acceptance with proposal.
    3.It is better but not necessary in this case.
    4.yes new mehr is required.

  9. AS SALAM ALIKUM. Q, The lady is seperated by her husband for the last three years and that she has no contact with him either visual or phusical and if she has taken KHULA from him then what are the restriction in the time of IDDAT, which she has to pass. kindly explain in detail as she is also a working woman.
    Wa alaykumus Salaam
    Khul’aa is equivalent to onmne talaaq baain. She will sit in iddat for the duration of three cycles of her menses.

  10. salamu alakum
    My wife experiences menses from 22nd of every month. and I divorced her on 21st of January 2010.
    please let me know what date will her iddah complete. and util what month or date I can take her back.
    Wa alaykumus Salaam
    Since she bled on the second day after the talaaq, it will be regarded as her first menses. Thereafter at the end of the third menses her iddat ends. That means that at the end of the menses that starts on the 22 march.

  11. Assalamu Alaikum
    If I divorced my wife in October 2008 and she became pregnant in January 2009.

    Please tell what will be her Iddah and when will it finish.
    Wa alaykumus Salaam
    The iddat is based on menstruation cycles. The completion of three cycles means the end of her iddat and if she does not have her cycles due to pregnancy then her iddat ends on date of birth of the child.

  12. Assalamu Alaikum
    My father expired on 14th April, 2010 and mother is alive alhamdolillah. I guess her Iddah is 4 Months & 10 days but during her Iddah she got electrical injury which caused her two fingers seriously hurt.
    1.Can she go to Hospital along with her Mahram for treatment if injuries are getting severe day by day?
    Wa laykumus Salaam
    Yes she may go to the hospital and have herself checked out.

  13. Assalamualaikum
    My father expired on 28th Rabi-ul-Awwal 1431 AH and according to English calendar 14th April, 2010. I will highly be obliged if you can please calculate or confirm the exact date of Iddah expiry of my mother.

    According to my speculation it is 8th Ramdan-ul-Mubarak 1431.

    Answer awaited
    Wa alaykumus salaam
    Calculate 4 months and 10 days from the day of demise islamically and the iddat will have ended by the 8 ramashaan.

  14. selamualeykum,me & my husband had a huge argument on the phone & he was saying very hurtfull word to me & saying that his heart is about to stop,he wants to kill someone & many other hatefull things & he said talaq to me for the third time, the second talaq he gave me was a month ago & he regreted it & we were back together again. after he put the phone down,I phoned him back hours later because he was like a monster & I never heard things like this from him before & i phone to talk to him about how can he say horrible things like that & say he loves me to death.He said sorry for hurting me & he didnt mean & was never thinking to devorce me.I wanted to ask if a man says talaq to his wife the third time without waitng for the iddat his third talak will be valid or not & is talaq said in extereme anger over the phone valid or not? Jazzak Allah
    WA ALAYKUMUS SALAAM
    TALAAQ UTTERED IN JEST OR IN INTEND BOTH ARE VALID, WHETHER IN ANGER OR IN HAPPINESS. IF DIRECTLY COMMUICATED VIA PHONE OR IN PERSON IT TAKES PLACE.

  15. salamu alakum,
    I married a man islamically and we live in separate homes due to circumstances of our individual children. After two weeks of marriage and a big fight, he divorced me. We did not see each other or speak for about 40 days until recently. He asked me by phone if I wanted to go back together and I said that I did not. He said that he understands why I feel that way and then said that he was only weak from missing me but that in logical thinking it will not work with me and he will not be able to make me happy. Then, in a 5 minute phone call surprised me by saying that he doesn’t care about what I want or feel that he is taking me back. I still have not seen him since two months from the time of divorce but he insists that we are back together because he said it to me. Am I his wife again in a case like this? Thank you for your help.
    Wa alaykumus salaam
    If talaaq e sareeh (clear Talaaq) was issued then the man has the right to recall the wife within the iddat. The iddat is the passing of three haidh.

  16. ASSALAM O ALAIKUM…
    sir i have to ask that what is the period of idiat after khulla have searched about it i read a book of muhammmad iqbal kilayni “kitab t talaq” it ix written there that period after khulla is of 1 month he has given referance of masla numbr 109 that period after khulla is of one month.but the lawyer is saying that idat is of three mnths there is a little bit confusion kindly help me n tell me the period of idat after khulla.
    THANK YOU
    Wa alaykumus Salaam
    Khula in islam is equivalent to talaaq baain. Therefore the iddat will be three cycles of haidh. This is called a tabarri period to ensure that the woman is not pregnant from her husband and also to protect the integrity of the unborn child as well.

  17. Bismillah, Assalaamualikum WrWb. My husband gave talaaq-e-bain and my question 1) what if he wants to unite after the period of idaah, what are the rules to be considered. 2) he gave me talaaq for no reason, please let me now what is his punishment in this world and here after(aakhiraah), he is just not responding when questioned about it, basically he was escaping. he gave me and my parents hard time by doing this.
    Wa alaykumus Salaam wr wb
    1)If he wishes to be re united with the ex wife then a new nikah with a new mehr has to be performed with the consent of the ex wife.
    2) Talaaq is the most abhorred thing which has been made permissible. It causes the ARSH(throne) of ALLAH to shake when a talaaq is announced. If done as a means of oppression then he will be punished severely .

    1. Bismillah

      Assalaamualikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatahu.

      We usually see that the Qaazi office these days give the Talaaq certification just taking lot of money from the grooms side and in a way it is bribe with out even asking the reason for a talaaq, where as in shariah (islamic law)both the parties should sit and have talks with religious and pious gentlemen who should be well aware of the knowledge of quran and sunnah..and try to unite the couple first, when this meeting fails only then the Qaazi office is suppose to issue the talaaq….In most of the cases these days the boy escapes and gives lumsum money to qaazi and they blindly issue the Talaaq certification…who should be contacted if the qaazi is not being honest with his respectable position…pls reply.jazaakallah khair .waslm wr wbk
      Wa alaykumus Salaam wr wb
      It is not the right of the qaazi to issue the talaaq. The talaaq isssueing is the onus of the husband. If he has uttered the words of talaaq then talaaq takes place no matter what the qaazi or any other says. So this is whjat is required. For clarification of the issue you should contact your local ulema about the issue.

  18. As Salam Alaikum Mufti sab
    1.After death of husband is it necessary, women should complete her iddat duration in same house from where her husband taken for last rites?
    2.After 40days from death of husband, till completion of iddat period women can go out during day time?
    Wa alaykumus Salaam warahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh
    1. Iddat has to be spent in any house where there will be onvinience to fulfill the requisites of the iddat.
    2. The iddat period of demise is 4 months 10 days and until iddat is not complete and the widow is not allowed out without a valid shar’ii reason.

    janab if a women in iddah do zana and she wants to do touba.and also she is very embarased on her act. please tell me what should she do for touba?

    1. و عليكم السلام و رحمة الله و بركاته
      She should with and make 2 rakaAt salaat toubah and thereafter beg for forgiveness. Also make intention not to do the same sin again

  24. respected Sir,

    Husband said one talak to her wife on 23rd April and woman’s period date was 26th then by the mutual agreement husband wrote 3 talaks on paper and signed it on 6th May , pls make it clear the Talak is happened or not and if happened then what are the conditions / method of Halala in islam now?

    1. If 3 talaaqs given by mutual consent then what is halala for.?
      2. He gave one talaaq verbally and thereafter they agreed to make it 3 am I understanding right?
      If so then it is 3 as per mutual arrangement. The lady is harass on the man until she remarries after iddat and thereafter her new husband either passes away or Divorces her. After spending her iddat she is at liberty to remarry her first husband if she so wishes with new nikaah and mahr. This is what halala is.
