The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
What islam says about “ iddat” of a divorced woman who had divorce before “rukhsati” but she had sexual relations with her husband in secret?
Answer
The Iddat for a divorcee after having conjugal relationship with her husband is three menstrual cycles. If she is conceived, the Iddat will be till birth.
The divorce taking place before Rukhsati but after being intimate does not offer leniency in the Iddat.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
