And for those who are pregnant, their `Iddah is until they lay down their burden.) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded a simpler narration than this one from Ubay bin Ka`b who said, 'O Allah's Messenger! When the Ayah in Surat Al-Baqarah was revealed prescribing the `Iddah of divorce, some people in Al-Madinah said, `There are still some women whose `Iddah has not been mentioned in the Qur'an. This has been reported from Sa`id bin Jubayr and it is the view preferred by Ibn Jarir. The second, is that if you do not know the ruling in this case, then know that their `Iddah is three months.

That is, if they see blood and there is doubt if it was menstrual blood or not. This is the meaning of His saying Щ€ЩЋШ§Щ„Щ„Щ‘ЩЋЩЂШЄЩђЩЉ Щ„ЩЋЩ…Щ’ ЩЉЩЋШЩђШ¶Щ’Щ†ЩЋ (and for those who have no courses.) as for His saying ШҐЩђЩ†Щђ Ш§Ш±Щ’ШЄЩЋШЁЩ’ШЄЩЏЩ…Щ’ (if you have doubt.) There are two opinions: First, is the saying of a group of the Salaf, like Mujahid, Az-Zuhri and Ibn Zayd. Their `Iddah is three months like those in menopause. see 2:228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation.

Her `Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. The `Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause.
