العدة و الأحكام المترتبة عليها في القرآن الكريم

Abstract EN

Firstly, this research investigated the rules pertaining to the counting the 'iddah ((the waiting period observed by a woman after the death of her husband or after a divorce)), based on verses from the Glorious Quran.

The term 'iddah was defined linguistically and conceptually, and its types were enumerated.

Its ruling by the Islamic shari'a law was explained.

In addition, fatwas were provided for the 'iddah of a divorced woman before menopause and after menopause, and the 'iddah of a divorced girl who hasn't yet menstruated due to childhood.

Secondly, I explained the iddah of a non-pregnant widow, and that of a pregnant widow.

Furthermore, I cited different views by Muslim scholars on the allowability of having sexual intercourse with a woman on 'iddah due to a revocable repudiation ((talqah raj'iyah)), and on the non-allowability of having sexual intercourse with a woman on 'iddah due to a small irrevocable repudiation ((talaaq ba'yin baynoona sughra)) or a large irrevocable repudiation ((talaaq ba'yin baynoona sughra)).

Thirdly, I mentioned the obligation of accommodation ((sukna)) and nafaqah ((financial support)) for the pregnant woma who is divorced revocably, and the obligation of nafaqah only ((no sukna)) for the pregnant woman who is divorced irrevocably given that she breastfeeds the born child.

However, these obligations are explained in the light of the general principle in Islam that 'no soul is given a burden greater than what it can bear'.

Finally, I concluded with the most important findings and recommendations, and the sources and references cited in this research.
