Topic: Ruling on Iddah in Case of Divorce before Rukhsati    (No-21368)

Q If a man divorces his wife before the rukhsati, is the woman obligated to observe iddah?

a If the couple has had a meeting in which they were both completely alone meaning that "khalwat e saheeh" had been established, before the rukhsati, then if they get divorced, the woman is obligated to observe iddah (waiting period). However, if they have not met in complete seclusion (khalwat e saheehah) it is not obligatory for the woman to observe iddah.

رجل ‌تزوج ‌امرأة نكاحا جائزا فطلقها بعد الدخول أو بعد الخلوة الصحيحة كان عليها العدةكذا في فتاوى قاضي خان۔
أربع ‌من ‌النساء لا عدة عليهن: المطلقة قبل الدخول.
