1. List 5 black companions of the Prophet (SAW) and write a little about their background

Sa'ad Al-Aswad (RA)

One of the black companions of the Prophet (PBUH) was Sa'ad Al-Aswad As-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sa'ad was from the Ansar and suffered discrimination in Al-Madinah.

Due to an inferiority complex, Sa'ad asked the Prophet (PBUH) if he too could enter into Jannah because of his low position among the Muslims. The Prophet (PBUH) replied to him that he was entitled to the same reward as other believers. Sa'ad then inquired that if he was an equal believer then why would none of the Arabs allow him to marry one of their daughters.

The Prophet (PBUH) then told Sa'ad to go to the home of 'Amr bin Wahb to ask him for his daughter for marriage. When Sa'ad told ibn Wahb that the Prophet sent him to request for his daughter for marriage, Ibn Wahb became angry at the proposal.

Ibn Wahb also stated to him that didn't he know that his daughter is known for her beauty! When Ibn Wahb's daughter heard this, she told her father that she could not turn down a proposal that came at the suggestion of the Messenger of Allah !

Sa'ad was later martyred in a battle in which it is narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) wept over him while holding him in his lap.

Sayyidina Bilaal (RA)


A former slave, freed by Sayyidina Abu Bakr RA, Bilaal RA underwent great trials in defense of Tauheed. He was the first Muadhin of Islam and had the unique honour of performing the Athaan in Makkah, Madinah and Al Quds. He was also a great Mujahid, participating in great Islamic battles both during the era of the Messenger SAW as well as after his passing. Nabi SAW conveyed to him the glad tidings of hearing his footsteps in Paradise. He would be known among the Sahaba RA as their master. He passed away and is buried in Damascus.


Ammar bin Yasir (RA)

One of the companions who has several narrated merits pertaining to his faith, personality and resilience is 'Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him).

'Ammar was one of the earliest Muslims to accept Islam and was regularly tortured along with his family. Once while being severely tortured, he unwillingly recanted Islam. He later came to the Prophet (PBUH) in a state of tears saying that he verbally recanted Islam but did not mean it, in which the Prophet (PBUH) wiped away his tears and recited Surah 16, ayah 106,

“Whoever disbelieves in Allah after belief except who is forced and whose heart is still content with faith…”

After much persecution, 'Ammar with other companions migrated to Abyssinia finding protection under a just Christian king though ibn Ishaq disputes that he was one of those companions in Abyssinia. He later migrated with other companions to Al-Madinah making him within a select group of companions that made two migrations for the sake of Allah .

'Ammar later participated in the major campaigns to protect the Muslim community including Badr and Uhud. He also was a witness to the Farewell Pilgrimage.

'Ammar later achieved martyrdom at the Battle of Siffin.

Mihja (RA)

One of the famed companions of the Prophet (PBUH) is Mihja' bin Salih (May Allah be pleased with him). Mihja' was one of the early adherents of Islam in Mecca, and one of those who migrated for the sake of Allah to Al-Madinah.

After migration according to At-Tabari and others, Mihja' was the first to be martyred at Ghazwah Badr (battle of Badr).

Abu Dharr (RA)

One of the honorable companions, who is known for his faithfulness and concern for the poor was Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abu Dharr's full name was Jundab bin Junadah from the Tribe of Ghifar.

In the Era of Ignorance, the Ghifari tribe was known for banditry and alcohol consumption besides worshiping idols. Abu Dharr, however, turned away from these tribal norms even before embracing Islam.

After meeting the Prophet (PBUH), Abu Dharr swiftly accepted Islam. He went to the Ka'bah to publicly declare his faith in which Quraysh proceeded to beat him. He went the following day to proclaim his faith again in which he was beaten again. After days of doing this and facing beatings, the Prophet (PBUH) told him to go back to his tribe, so he could declare his message to them.

He later migrated to Al-Madinah and participated in Ghazwah Badr (battle of Badr) and other expeditions with the companions.

(i) Bilāl bin Rabaah.
Bilāl was an emancipated Ethiopian slave who became one of the closest and most trusted companions of the Prophet Muhammad and the first muaddhin in Islam. During the time of the Prophet, he was appointed to the important position of the custodian of the treasury. He participated in post of the Prophet’s expeditions and battles. Following the death of the Prophet, he was among the most important partisans of ‘Ali bin Abi Talib and supported his claims to the caliphate. He died in Syria around 640 and was buried in Damascus.


(ii) Usamah bin Zayd
Both his parents, Zayd bin Harithah, who was Arab and Umm Ayman, who was Ethiopian, were freed from slavery by the Prophet (PBUH). He was born in Mecca seven years prior to hijrah.
Much of Usamah's upbringing was done in the house of the Prophet (PBUH). He was later married at age 15 by the Prophet (PBUH) to Fatimah bint Qays, who was Arab and from Quraysh.
While a teenager, Usamah was elected by the Prophet (PBUH) to lead the Muslim army in an expedition against the Romans in Syria.
Usamah passed in 61 A.H. in Madinah


(iii) Sa'ad Al-Aswad As-Sulami
He was from the Ansar and suffered discrimination in Al-Madinah.
Due to an inferiority complex, Sa'ad asked Prophet if he too could enter into Jannah because of his low position among the Muslims. Prophet replied him that he was entitled to the same reward as other believers. Sa'ad then inquired that if he was an equal believer then why would none of the Arabs allow him to marry one of their daughters.
Prophet then told him to go to the home of 'Amr bin Wahb to ask him for his daughter for marriage.

Sa'ad was later martyred in a battle.


(iv) Sumayya bint Khayyat.
She was one of the first women to embrace Islam, shortly after the declaration of the Prophet’s mission in 610. Originally a slave, she was later freed following the birth of her son. Sumayya, her husband, and her son were the first instance in the history of the faith of an entire family embracing Islam. Due to the staunch opposition of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca to the new faith, however, Sumayya and her family bore the brunt of the persecution of the Meccans as they attempted to destroy the nascent Islamic faith. Due to their refusal to abandon their new faith, both Sumayya and Yāsir were publicly tortured before being executed (in front of their son). She is considered to be the first martyr in Islam.


(v) Usāma bin Zayd.
He was the youngest individual ever appointed as a military general during the lifetime of the Prophet, leading a military force—which included some of the highest-ranking companions—when he was only seventeen years old. Following the Prophet’s death, he played an important role as a general, especially in the military campaigns against Byzantium, and is best known for his neutral stance during the civil wars that took place during the caliphate of Ali. He died around 674 and is buried in Medina.

1. What is iddah?

Iddah period is the period a woman must observe after the death of her husband or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man.

It is simply put as waiting period.


B. Explain the different types of iddah


(i) The waiting period (Iddah) of a widow is four months and ten days, irrespective of whether she is a minor or in menopause, even if the marriage has not been consummated.

For divorce;

(i) Iddah of birth: This kind of Iddah is applicable to a pregnant woman. The woman would be able to remarry after giving birth to the child.

(ii) Iddah of menses: In case of woman that is still menstruating, her waiting period will be after completing 3 menstrual cycle.

(iii) This third category is for minors and women in menopause; they will observe 3 lunar months of Iddah


2. what are the procedures for a woman to seek divorce

Talaaq (divorce) is the right of the husband, and does not take place unless it is done by him, because the Prophet (SAW) said: “Talaaq is the right of the one who seizes the leg (i.e., consummates the marriage)” i.e., the husband. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2081; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel , 2041).

So, it is the right of a man to seek divorce.

Iddah is a period in which a woman waits after the death of her husband or divorce, during which she is not allowed to marry.

B. Explain the different types of iddah

The first type of Iddah is that of birth. That is, a woman must wait until she delivers her child before she can remarry. A common erroneous idea among people is that a pregnant woman cannot be divorced. This is not the case at all.

The second type is the Iddah of menses. This means a woman is not allowed to marry until she has three menstruations. As soon as the third period ends, Iddah ends.

The third type of waiting period is the Iddah of months. This applies to women who have passed the age of menstruation. The Iddah in this case is three months. As for a woman who is divorced by her husband before he has consummated his marriage with her, then there is no waiting period that applies to her.

1. What is iddah?

Ans: In Islam, iddah is the period a woman must observe after the death of her spouse or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man. Its purpose is to ensure that the male parent of any offspring produced after the cessation of a nikah (marriage) would be known.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 234 (part):If those of you who die and leave wives behind, they should abstain (from marriage) for a period of four months and ten days. Then, when their waiting term expires, they are free to do whatever they choose for themselves, provided that it is decent; you shall not be answerable for this. Allah is fully aware of what all of you do.




B. Explain the different types of iddah


Ans: Types of Iddah:

a. Iddah of a woman who still menstruates (iddah resulting from separation or divorce): three monthly periods

b. Iddah of women who have passed the age of menstruation (as in old women): three months

c. Iddah of a woman whose husband died: four months and ten days or 130 days (the extra period of 40 days seems to have been added to provide ample time for the widow to mourn her husband)

d. Iddah of a pregnant woman (as a result of the death of the husband or divorce): until she delivers the unborn child.

e. Iddah of a woman whose marriage is not yet consummated i.e. a woman whose husband divorces her before having any sexual relations with her, there is no waiting period.



2 what are the procedures for a woman to seek divorce

Ans: The procedures for a woman seeking divorce is through Khula'. Khula’ means the separation of the wife in return for a payment; the husband takes the payment and lets his wife go, whether this payment is the mahr which he gave to her, or more or less than that.

The basic principle concerning this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And it is not lawful for you (men) to take back (from your wives) any of your Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) which you have given them, except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allaah (e.g. to deal with each other on a fair basis). Then if you fear that they would not be able to keep the limits ordained by Allaah, then there is no sin on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr or a part of it) for her Al-Khul‘ (divorce)”
[al-Baqarah 2:229]

If a woman cannot stay with her husband, then the judge should ask him to divorce her by khula’; indeed he should order him to do so. With regard to the way in which it is done, the husband should take his payment or they should agree upon it, then he should say to her “faaraqtuki” (I separate from you) or “khaala’tuki (I let you go), or other such words.



3. Name 5 female companions of the Prophet SAW excluding his family members and write a little about them
Ans:
i. Asma bint Abi Bakr: Asma' was a woman of great nobility, wisdom and patience. She was among the early converts to Makkah and being the daughter of the great Companion Abu Bakr, she was brought up in an atmosphere of purity and devotion and shared close ties with the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. When the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was about to secretly leave Makkah for his emigration to Madinah with his close friend Abu Bakr, it was Asma' who prepared the provisions for the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam and her father.

ii. Tamadur bint Amr Shareed: She was a famous poet when her brother, Sakhr, died, she composed poetic masterpieces that made her the greatest poet in the field of lamentation. Afterwards she came to the Messenger of Allah with her tribe to embrace Islam.Having entered Islam, she led a different life of honor, patience and gratitude. Islam changed the course of her life.

In addition to her great poems, she had great heroic attitudes. In the battle of Al-Qadisiyya, she accompanied the army with her four children. Before rushing into war she commended them saying, "O sons, you optionally entered Islam so did you migrate. You are all my sons. I never betrayed your father nor did I stain your lineage or forged your ancestry. You know that Allah prepared for Muslims of great reward when fighting against atheists. You have know that the immortal life is better than the perishable.

iii. Hind bint Utbah: Hind bint ‘Utbah was an Arab woman who lived in the late 6th and early 7th centuries CE; she was the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, a powerful man of Mecca, in western Arabia. She was the mother of Muawiyah I, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty, and of Hanzala, Juwayriya and Umm Hakam. Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan, who became one of Muhammad's wives, was her stepdaughter.
Both Abu Sufyan and Hind originally opposed the Islamic prophet Muhammad before their conversion to Islam in 630.

iv. Umm Kulthum bint Uqba: She was the daughter of 'Uqba ibn Abu Mu'ayt and sister of Walid ibn 'Uqba.At the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, Umm Kulthum bint 'Uqba, daughter of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) enemy 'Uqbah bin Abu Mu'ayt, sought asylum with the Muslims when she learned that a revelation (60:10) had said that women seeking the Prophet did not have to be returned to their families and men, unlike the custom for male escapees.

First, she married Zayd ibn Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him). After Zayd was killed in battle of Mu'ta she married Az-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) who divorced her after a while. Then she married Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) and bore him two sons, Ibraheem and Hameed. After Abd al-Rahman's (may Allah be pleased with him) death she married 'Amr ibn al-'Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) and died after one month of the marriage.

v. Umm Haram bint Milhan: Umm Haram was a woman of great excellence and reputation. Umm Sulaim was her sister. In the Battle of Uhud, she lost both her husband and son, but bore this shock with patience and perseverance. She had another terrible shock when her dear brother Haram ibn Milhan was brutally murdered by the enemies of Islam in the famous incident of Bi'r Ma'una. Umm Haram was overtaken by grief but submitted patiently to the Will of Allah. The Prophet also felt this brutal murder of Haram very much. The Prophet had a great regard for Umm Haram and her sister Umm Sulaim and he often visited their houses and took meals with them.

1. What is iddah?

Iddah is a period in which a woman waits after
the death of her husband or divorce, and she is not
allowed to marry during this period.


B. Explain the different types of iddah


There are three types of Iddah:

The first type of Iddah is that of birth. That is, a
woman must wait until she delivers her child before
she can remarry. A common erroneous idea among
people is that a pregnant woman cannot be
divorced. This is not the case at all. Rather there is a consensus on this point among the scholars, and that this is a Sunnah divorce and heresy (bidah).There is no dispute regarding its validity.

The second type of Iddah is the iddah of
menses. This means a woman is not allowed to
marry until she has three menstruations. As soon
as the third period ends, Iddah ends. This is the
view of many of the elite companions such as
Umar, Ali and ibn Masud, and it was narrated
by ibn al-Qayyim. This is also the view by the
majority of contemporary scholars such as ibn Baaz and Uthaymeen.

The third type of waiting period is the Iddah of
months. This applies to women who have passed
the age of menstruation. The Iddah in this case is
three months. As for a woman who is divorced by
her husband before he has consummated his
marriage with her, then there is no waiting period
that applies to her based on verse number 49 from
Surat Al-Ahzaab (33).


2 what are the procedures for a woman to seek divorce

There are basically three ways for a wife can
seek a divorce:
1. Ask her husband that she no longer
wishes to remain his wife, and the husband accedes to her request and pronounces a divorce on her.
2. If the husband refuses to divorce her, she
has the right to Initiate a divorce proceedings in a Shariah Court, whereby the Judge will study the conditions and reasons for seeking divorce, and then summon the husband and give him an option: either he accedes to the wifes divorce request and pronounces divorce on her, or the Court will use its authority and
divorce the couple.
3. If the husband does not pronounce the divorce and the Judge sees valid reason for divorce, the Shariah Judge has the authority to divorce the couple.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 229: A divorce is only permissible twice: after that the parties should either hold together on equitable terms or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for you (men) to take back any of your gifts (from your wives) except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah. If ye (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah there is no blame on either of them if she give something for her freedom. These are the limits ordained by Allah; so do not transgress them. If any do transgress the limits ordained by Allah such persons wrong (themselves as well as others).

Salma bint Umays
was a sahaba of Muhammad .
She was from the Khathaam tribe. Her father
was Umays ibn Maadd, and her mother was
Hind bint Awf from the Himyar tribe. Her full siblings were Asma bint Umays and Awn ibn Umays, and her maternal siblings included Maymuna bint al-Harith , Lubaba bint al-Harith and Mahmiya ibn al-Jaz'i. Salma and her sister
Asma were among the early converts to Islam .



Sumayyah bint Khayyat
was the first Muslim to become a shahid . She was a slave in the possession of Abu
Hudhayfa ibn al-Mughira , a member of the
Makhzum clan in Mecca.She was not a black
woman, but she was of Ethiopian ancestry.


Fatimah bint al-Khattab
was the sister of the
second Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab along with
Zayd ibn al-Khattab and one of the early women
followers of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad .
She was the youngest daughter of Khattab ibn
Nufayl , who married her off with his nephew,
hanif Sa'id ibn Zayd . Fatima along with her
husband both converted to Islam together at the
same time.


Nasibah bint Ka'b al-Maziniyyah
[aka Umm
‘Umarah] was a famous Muslim warrior. She
took part in a number of battles and treaties,
such as the treaty of 'Aqabah, Al-Hudaybiyah,
Khaybar and Hunayn. Her heroic conduct at
Hunayn was no less marvellous than her heroic
conduct at Uhud. At the time of Abu Bakr’s
Khilafah, she was present at Al-Yamamah where
she fought brilliantly and received eleven wounds
and lost her hand. At the battle of Uhud, she
would continuously take up her sword to defend
the Prophet, peace be upon him, acting as a
human shield to protect him from the arrows of
the enemy. The Prophet noticed this, and later
said, “Wherever I turned, to the left or the right, I
saw her fighting for me.”

Asmā' Bint Abu Bakr
was one of the companions of prophet Muhammad(pbuh).
Asma was one of the first to accept Islam, being listed fifteenth on Ibn Ishaq's list of "those who accepted Islam at the invitation of Abu Bakr.

1.....Iddah is a period in which a woman waits after the death of her husband or divorce.She is not allowed during this period.

1b.....

Iddah of birth:This happens when a woman divorce or or her husband died.In this case,she must wait until she delivers her child before she can remarry.

Iddah of menses:Woman is not allowed to marry if she lose or divorce her husband until she has done three different menstrual cycles.It ends at the end of the third period.

Iddah of months:It applies to woman who has passed the age of menstruation.It is three months for the waiting periods.

2....... A Muslim who wishes to divorce his wife is therefore advised in the first instance to ask for an arbitration meeting,arranged by elders of the couple so that a reconciliation may be reached. If such efforts fail
and the man sincerely thinks he cannot live a
harmonious life with his wife, he may divorce her
either verbally or in writing. In both cases, it is
recommended for there to be two witnesses
present on the occasion of the pronouncement of
such a divorce.
A man should :
(a) divorce only once and

(b) only during the time when his wife is not on her
menses and

(c) there has been no sexual contact
with her since the time of her last menses.
After a divorce is pronounced by a husband, his
wife must wait for a given period (‘iddat’). During
this period, the wife is allowed to stay in the
same house, but they can not have sexual
relation amongst them.The man is allowed to
take her back either verbally saying “I TAKE YOU
BACK “, or physically, by having intimate relation
with her. if, after this waiting period, the husband
fails to take his wife back, then the wife is
completely divorced, and must leave the
matrimonial home immediately.
It is also recommended to have two witnesses
present in the case, where the husband decides to
take back (‘ruju’) his wife, before the end of the
iddat.Where a man has pronounced three divorces, on
three different occasions, he can neither take
back his former wife, nor remarry her.
The Council issues a divorce certificate on the
basis of “talaq nama”, signed by the applicant in
the presence of two witnesses. The man is
required to pay the dower amount in full to the
woman.

3..............

A...... Khadīja b. Khuwaylid (d. 620) .
Before her famous marriage to the Prophet Muhammad, she was an important figure in her own right, being a
successful merchant and one of the elite figures
of Mecca. She played a central role in supporting
and propagating the new faith of Islam and has
the distinction of being the first Muslim. As the
Prophet Muhammad himself is believed to have
said in a hadith preserved in Sahih Muslim: “God
Almighty never granted me anyone better in this
life than her. She accepted me when people
rejected me; she believed in me when people
doubted me; she shared her wealth with me when
people deprived me; and God granted me children
only through her.” Indeed, another of the most
important women of early Islam, Fāṭima al-Zahrā’,
was the daughter of the Prophet by Khadīja and
it is only through Fāṭima (especially through her
two sons, al-Hasan and al-Husayn) that the
lineage of the Prophet Muhammad is preserved.
These facts make Fāṭima and her mother Khadīja
among the most revered female personages in
Islamic history.

B.......Nusayba b. Ka‘b al-Anṣārīyya (d. 634)
She was also known as Umm ‘Ammara, she was a member of the Banū Najjār tribe and one of the earliest
converts to Islam in Medina. As a Companion of
the Prophet Muhammad, there were many virtues
attributed to her. She is most remembered,
however, for taking part in the Battle of Uhud
(625), in which she carried sword and shield and
fought against the Meccans. She shielded the
Prophet Muhammad from enemies during the
battle and even sustained several lance wounds
and arrows as she cast herself in front of him to
protect him. It is said that after she sustained
her twelfth wound, she fell unconscious and the
first question she asked when she awoke (a day
later in Medina) was “did the Prophet survive?” a
testament to her loyalty and commitment to the
new faith.

C.........Khawla b. al-Azwar (d. 639) .
She was anothercontemporary of the Prophet Muhammad. She is best known for her participation in the Battle of
Yarmuk (636) against the Byzantines. According
to later narratives of the Islamic conquests,
authors described her as having the skill and
fighting ability of the famed Muslim general
Khālid ibn al-Walīd. There are a lot of
embellishments and unclear details that emerge
from later sources about her which make the
details questionable, leading some scholars to
doubt whether she had even existed at all!
Despite these reservations, it is nonetheless
notable that scholars such as al-Azdi, writing in
the eighth and ninth centuries, in his “Futuh al-
Sham” (a work often incorrectly attributed to al-
Waqidi) and later chroniclers such as Ibn Kathir
and al-Zirkali found it necessary to ascribe such
importance to a female warrior in the conquests.
Indeed, if she never existed at all this makes her
legend all the more interesting

D........... ‘Ā’isha b. Abī Bakr (d. 678) .
A figure that requires almost no introduction, ‘Ā’isha was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad who had perhaps
the most influence on the Muslim community
after his death. She played a central role in the
political opposition to the third and fourth caliphs
Uthmān ibn ‘Affān and ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib, even
leading an army against the latter at Basra in
656. Although she retired from political life after
her defeat, she continued to play a major role as
a transmitter of Islamic teachings. She is one of
the major narrators of hadith in the Sunni
tradition. In many ways, she is among the most
interesting (and controversial) figures in early
Islam, especially since the implications of her
actions for women’s participation in scholarship,
political life, and the public sphere clashed with
later conservative conceptions of the role of
women.

E.........Zaynab b. ‘Alī (d. 681) .
She was the grand-
daughter of the Prophet Muhammad through his
daughter Fāṭima (d. 633) and her husband ‘Alī ibn
Abī Ṭālib (d. 661). She was a leading figure of the
Ahl al-Bayt (Family of the Prophet) during the late
seventh century and played a central role both
during and after the Massacre at Karbala (680),
where her brother al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī, and 72 of
her nephews and other brothers were killed by the
Umayyads. For a time, she was the effective
leader of the Ahl al-Bayt and served as the
primary defender of the cause of her brother, al-
Ḥusayn. At Kufa, she defended her nephew—‘Alī
ibn al-Ḥusayn (d. 712)—from certain death by the
governor of the city and, when presented to the
Yazīd ibn Mu‘āwiya at Damascus, gave such an
impassioned and forceful speech in the royal
court that the caliph was convinced by his
advisers to release her and the prisoners taken at
Karbala. Her strength, patience, and wisdom
makes her one of the most important women in
early Islam. Her shrine at Damascus remains a
major place of visitation by both Sunnis and
Shi’is, a fact that emphasizes the universality of
her legacy among Muslims.

1. What is iddah?

Answer

Iddah is a period in which a woman waits after the death of her husband or divorce, and she is not allowed to marry during this period.
The Muslim jurists have unanimously agreed on it as being waajib (obligatory) due to the explicitness of the Quranic injuction whereby Allah says: The divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods.

B. Explain the different types of iddah

Answer

The first type of Iddah is that of birth.

That is, a woman must wait until she delivers her child before she can remarry. A common erroneous idea among people is that a pregnant woman cannot be divorced. This is not the case at all. Rather there is a consensus on this point among the scholars, and that this is a Sunnah divorce and heresy (bidah). There is no dispute regarding its validity.

The second type of Iddah is the Iddah of menses.

This means a woman is not allowed to marry until she has three menstruations. As soon as the third period ends, Iddah ends. This is the view of many of the elite companions such as Umar, Ali and ibn Masud, and it was narrated by ibn al-Qayyim. This is also the view by the majority of contemporary scholars such as ibn Baaz and Uthaymeen.

The third type of waiting period is the Iddah of months. This applies to women who have passed the age of menstruation. The Iddah in this case is three months. As for a woman who is divorced by her husband before he has consummated his marriage with her, then there is no waiting period that applies to her based on verse number 49 from Surat Al-Ahzaab (33).

The woman whose husband has divorced her once or twice is instructed to spend her iddah duration within her husbands house.

Any woman who leaves her home without the permission of her husband after he has uttered either the first or second divorce is in violation of the injunctions of Allah and His Messenger.

A woman whose divorce is revocable (i.e. first divorce or second divorce) may still uncover in front of her husband and adorn herself by applying make-up and perfume. She may speak to him and he may speak to her; she may sit with him and do anything with him apart from intercourse. The only instance in which he may have sexual relations with her is if he takes her back. If the husband kisses and embraces his wife with the intention of taking her back, then that taking back is valid. To be on the safe side however, he should not handle with his wife until after he has clearly stated that he is taking her back.

In the case were a husband is not sure as to whether he uttered the word of divorce at all, or as to the number of divorces he has uttered, then he should act on the basis of what is certain. So if he is not sure whether he has divorced her or not, the basic principle is that divorce has not taken place, because in this instance marriage is something which is certain, and divorce is something concerning which there is uncertainty. Based on the juristic principle that certainty cannot be overridden by doubt, if the husband is uncertain as to whether he has divorced his wife once or twice, he should assume that he has divorced her once, because this is what is certain.



2 what are the procedures for a woman to seek divorce

Answer

1)Initiation

This is the stage where the talaq process is initiated.
According to most Sunnī scholars it consists of:
The husband saying talaq once in the presence of his wife.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran
O Prophet! When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods and count (accurately) their prescribed periods: And fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness, those are limits set by Allah: and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation. "
— Qur'an, Sura 65 (At-Talaq)

2)Reconciliation

According to Sunnī and Shīʻa jurisprudence, the couple is supposed to try to reconcile during the waiting period, with the help of mediators from each family. If the couple breaks the waiting period by engaging in sexual intercourse, they are deemed to have been reconciled and the divorce is voided. This is said in the Quran in the following ayats:


"And if you fear a breach between the two, then appoint judge from his people and a judge from her people; if they both desire agreement, Allah will effect harmony between them, surely Allah is Knowing, Aware."
— Qur'an, Sura 4 (An-Nisa),

"O you who believe! when you marry the believing women, then divorce them before you touch them, you have in their case no term which you should reckon; so make some provision for them and send them forth a goodly sending forth."
— Qur'an, Sura 33 (Al-Ahzab

3)Completion


After the completion of the talaq procedure, the couple are divorced, and she becomes non-
mahram for him and so they must observe the
hijāb rules.

Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms; and take for witness two persons from among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence (as) before Allah. Such is the admonition given to him who believes in Allah and the Last Day. And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out."
— Qur'an, Sura 65 (At-Talaq),

1. What is iddah? Answer Iddah is a period in which a
woman waits after the death of her
husband or divorce, and she is not
allowed to marry during this
period.
The Muslim jurists have unanimously agreed on it as being
waajib (obligatory) due to the
explicitness of the Quranic
injuction whereby Allah says: The
divorced women shall wait
concerning themselves for three monthly periods. B. Explain the different types of
iddah Answer The first type of Iddah is that of
birth. That is, a woman must wait until
she delivers her child before she
can remarry. A common erroneous
idea among people is that a
pregnant woman cannot be
divorced. This is not the case at all. Rather there is a consensus on
this point among the scholars, and
that this is a Sunnah divorce and
heresy (bidah). There is no dispute
regarding its validity. The second type of Iddah is the
Iddah of menses. This means a woman is not
allowed to marry until she has
three menstruations. As soon as
the third period ends, Iddah ends.
This is the view of many of the
elite companions such as Umar, Ali and ibn Masud, and it was
narrated by ibn al-Qayyim. This is
also the view by the majority of
contemporary scholars such as ibn
Baaz and Uthaymeen. The third type of waiting period is
the Iddah of months. This applies
to women who have passed the
age of menstruation. The Iddah in
this case is three months. As for a
woman who is divorced by her husband before he has
consummated his marriage with
her, then there is no waiting period
that applies to her based on verse
number 49 from Surat Al-Ahzaab
(33). The woman whose husband has
divorced her once or twice is
instructed to spend her iddah
duration within her husbands
house. Any woman who leaves her home
without the permission of her
husband after he has uttered
either the first or second divorce is
in violation of the injunctions of
Allah and His Messenger. A woman whose divorce is
revocable (i.e. first divorce or
second divorce) may still uncover
in front of her husband and adorn
herself by applying make-up and
perfume. She may speak to him and he may speak to her; she may
sit with him and do anything with
him apart from intercourse. The
only instance in which he may
have sexual relations with her is if
he takes her back. If the husband kisses and embraces his wife with
the intention of taking her back,
then that taking back is valid. To
be on the safe side however, he
should not handle with his wife
until after he has clearly stated that he is taking her back. In the case were a husband is not
sure as to whether he uttered the
word of divorce at all, or as to the
number of divorces he has uttered,
then he should act on the basis of
what is certain. So if he is not sure whether he has divorced her or
not, the basic principle is that
divorce has not taken place,
because in this instance marriage
is something which is certain, and
divorce is something concerning which there is uncertainty. Based
on the juristic principle that
certainty cannot be overridden by
doubt, if the husband is uncertain
as to whether he has divorced his
wife once or twice, he should assume that he has divorced her
once, because this is what is
certain. 2 what are the procedures for a
woman to seek divorce Answer 1)Initiation This is the stage where the talaq
process is initiated.
According to most Sunnī scholars
it consists of:
The husband saying talaq once in
the presence of his wife. Allah Says in the Holy Quran
O Prophet! When ye do divorce
women, divorce them at their
prescribed periods and count
(accurately) their prescribed
periods: And fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their
houses, nor shall they
(themselves) leave, except in case
they are guilty of some open
lewdness, those are limits set by
Allah: and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily
wrong his (own) soul: thou
knowest not if perchance Allah will
bring about thereafter some new
situation. "
— Qur'an, Sura 65 (At-Talaq) 2)Reconciliation According to Sunnī and Shīʻa
jurisprudence, the couple is
supposed to try to reconcile during
the waiting period, with the help of
mediators from each family. If the
couple breaks the waiting period by engaging in sexual intercourse,
they are deemed to have been
reconciled and the divorce is
voided. This is said in the Quran in
the following ayats: "And if you fear a breach between
the two, then appoint judge from
his people and a judge from her
people; if they both desire
agreement, Allah will effect
harmony between them, surely Allah is Knowing, Aware."
— Qur'an, Sura 4 (An-Nisa), "O you who believe! when you
marry the believing women, then
divorce them before you touch
them, you have in their case no
term which you should reckon; so
make some provision for them and send them forth a goodly sending
forth."
— Qur'an, Sura 33 (Al-Ahzab 3)Completion After the completion of the talaq
procedure, the couple are
divorced, and she becomes non-
mahram for him and so they must
observe the
hijāb rules. Thus when they fulfil their term
appointed, either take them back
on equitable terms or part with
them on equitable terms; and take
for witness two persons from
among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence (as)

admonition given to him who
believes in Allah and the Last Day.
And for those who fear Allah, He
(ever) prepares a way out." — Qur'an, Sura 65 (At-Talaq), 3. Name 5 female companions of

1. What is iddah?
iddah or iddat is the period a woman must observe after the death of her spouse or after a divorce , during which she may not marry another man.
Its purpose is to ensure that the male parent of any offspring produced after the cessation of a nikah (marriage) would be known.
The length of iddah varies according to a number of circumstances.

The iddah of a woman divorced by her husband is three monthly
periods, unless she is pregnant in which case the ‘iddah lasts
until she gives birth, or unless the marriage was not consummated in which case there is no `iddah, or unless she does not menstruate, in which case "the scholars say that she should observe an ‘iddah of a full year, nine months for pregnancy and three months for ‘iddah."
For a woman whose husband has died, the `iddah is four lunar
months and ten days after the death of their husbands, whether
or not the marriage was consummated. The period, four months
and ten days after the death of a spouse, is calculated on the
number of menses that a woman has.

B. Explain the different types of iddah

Iddah for widow

Whoever from amongst you dies and leaves behind wives, the
wives will hold themselves [from marriage] for four months and
ten days. Then, when they have expired this period, there is no
blame upon you in whatever they do regarding themselves,
according to the recognized traditions. And God is fully aware of
whatever you are doing. And there is no blame upon you in
proposing [marriage] to these women or in keeping such proposal
to yourself - God is aware that you would mention it to them - but
do not make with them any secret commitments, except that you
say a noble word to them. However, do not commit the marriage-
contract with them, until the law has reached its prescribed time...
( Al-Baqarah 2: 234 - 235 )


Iddah for divorced woman

(Al-Quran 33:49)
The Quran surah (Chapter) 65, entitled "At-Talaq" meaning "The
Divorce" states
Al Talaq 65:4 Such of your women as have passed the age of
monthly courses, for them the Iddah, if ye have any doubts, is
three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same):
for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until
they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will
make their path easy.
2 procedures for a woman to seek divorce

The talaq has three steps:
Initiation
Reconciliation
Completion

Sallam. She was like a mother to him.
