Answer:
Observe Iddah of
divorce
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 228:
228 Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly
periods; nor is it lawful for them to hide what
Allah hath created in their wombs if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day.
Respected sister in Islam, regardless of how long a
married couple might have chosen to live apart from each other after their
marriage….for a divorce to be established in Shariah, it is absolutely
obligatory for the woman, who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day, to
fulfill her waiting period of ‘iddah’ of three menstruation periods after the
divorce has been legally finalized. It
is only after the period of ‘iddah’ has expired that the woman would be deemed
free in Shariah Law to marry any eligible believer of her choice.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
