IDDAH BAGI WANITA TALAK RAJ’IE YANG TERPUTUS HAIDNYA
What is the iddah period for a woman in a revocable divorce (talak raj'ie) whose menstruation has stopped or been disrupted?
Short answer
If the cause of the disrupted menstruation is known, such as breastfeeding, medication that suppresses menstruation, or illness, she waits until the cause ends and menstruation returns, and her iddah is then counted as three purity periods.

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