[Machine] The daughter of Muawwidh has separated from her husband today. Does she need to observe iddah? Uthman said, "She should observe iddah and there is no waiting period for her as she is not married until she has her first menstruation." Abdullah Uthman said, "He is the eldest and the most knowledgeable among us. This narration indicates that Uthman is the one who ordered her to do so. The apparent rule in the book regarding divorced women includes those who have separated and others, so he is more deserving. With Allah is success, and Allah knows best."  

إِنَّ ابْنَةَ مُعَوِّذٍ قَدِ اخْتَلَعَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا الْيَوْمَ أَفَتَنْتَقِلُ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ تَنْتَقِلُ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ أَنَّهَا لَا تُنْكَحُ حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ عُثْمَانُ أَكْبَرُنَا وَأَعْلَمُنَا فَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ تُصَرِّحُ بِأَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ هُوَ الَّذِي أَمَرَهَا بِذَلِكَ وَظَاهِرُ الْكِتَابِ فِي عِدَّةِ الْمُطَلَّقَاتِ يَتَنَاوَلُ الْمُخْتَلِعَةَ وَغَيْرَهَا فَهُوَ أَوْلَى وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
