A woman who has not menstruated observing `Iddah to remarry after the expiry of three months

Q 1: Is it permissible for a woman who observes `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood) to remarry if the appointed term of `Iddah expires regardless of whether or not she has menstruated?

A: The prescribed `Iddah for a pregnant woman expires upon delivery, whether she is a divorcee or a widow. A widow shall observe `Iddah for four months and ten days following her husband's death. The `Iddah of a woman who is divorced after the consummation of the marriage is after she has three menstrual periods. A three-month `Iddah has to be observed by a woman who does not menstruate due to young or old age. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
