Iddat commencing from the time the husband issues talaaq
Question
My husband and I separated from each other since 1 year and I don't have any relationship with him, not before and not now. Now I take divorce from him forcefully is my iddat applicable on me or not?
Answer
If he has divorced you, then your iddat has commenced from the time he issued the divorce.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
