Explanation

Iddat is the waiting period after dissolution of a Muslim marriage during which a woman cannot remarry. This applies whether the marriage is dissolved by the death of the husband (resulting in Iddat-ul-wafat) or by divorce (Iddat-ul-talaq). The duration varies - generally 4 months 10 days after death, and 3 menstrual cycles after divorce, but the prohibition on remarriage applies in both scenarios.
