IDDAH BAGI WANITA TALAQ RAJ’IE YANG TERGANGGU HAIDNYA
What is the iddah period for a woman in a revocable divorce (talaq raj'ie) whose menstruation is disrupted?
Short answer
If the cause of the disrupted menstruation is known, such as breastfeeding, taking medication or illness, the woman waits until the cause ends and menstruation resumes, and her iddah is counted by three periods of purity.

Summary
If the cause of the disrupted menstruation is known, such as breastfeeding, taking medication or illness, the woman waits until the cause ends and menstruation resumes, and her iddah is counted by three periods of purity. If the cause is unknown, her iddah is one year after her menstruation stopped, based on nine months of typical pregnancy plus three months. If she completes three periods of purity before the year ends, her iddah is considered finished without waiting a full year.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika wanita talaq raj'ie itu tidak mengatahui sebab haidnya tidak keluar maka iddahnya ialah satu tahun selepas darah haidnya terputus.
