EDAH BAGI WANITA TALAK RAJ’I YANG TERGANGGU HAIDNYA
What is the waiting period (iddah) for a woman in a revocable divorce whose menstruation is disrupted?
Short answer
If the cause of the disruption is known, such as breastfeeding, taking medication that stops menstruation, or illness, the woman waits until the cause ends and menstruation returns, with her iddah counted by three quru' (three periods of purity).

Summary
If the cause of the disruption is known, such as breastfeeding, taking medication that stops menstruation, or illness, the woman waits until the cause ends and menstruation returns, with her iddah counted by three quru' (three periods of purity). If the cause is unknown, her iddah is one year after the bleeding stopped, being nine months of usual pregnancy plus three months. If three periods of purity are completed before the year ends, the iddah is considered finished without waiting the full year.
