Ibn 'Abbās said, regarding the (two verses): "And divorced women should wait regarding themselves three cycles"[1] and: "If you are in doubt regarding women who have given up hope of menses, then their waiting period is three months,’’[1] that this was abrogated, and Allāh said: (So if you divorce them before touching them, then you will have no waiting period for them that they have to wait.)” (Hasan)

2282 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: {وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ} [البقرة: 228]، وَقَالَ: {وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنْ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ} [الطلاق: 4]، فَنُسِخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: {ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا} [الأحزاب: 49]

Commentary

The Iddah of a normal divorcee is three turns of menses and purity. The Iddah of a woman in a state of menopause or of a girl with irregular menses not fixed as of yet, is three months. There is no Iddah for a woman divorced before the consummation of marriage. A pregnant woman divorced or widowed, shall wait until the delivery of the child. The Iddah of a widow is four months and ten days.
