Summary
If a woman in a revocable (raj'i) divorce does not know why her menstruation has stopped, her iddah is one year after her menstrual bleeding ceased. This is calculated as nine months, the usual length of pregnancy, plus three months. However, if she completes three periods of purity before the year ends, her iddah is considered finished without waiting for the full year.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika wanita talak raj'I itu tidak mengetahui sebab haidnya tidak keluar maka iddahnya ialah satu tahun selepas darah haidnya terputus.
