How should a woman complete her iddat?

· 30 Jumada I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My grandfather passed away a few months ago and my grandmothers iddat will be completed on Sunday insha'Allah, is there any specific procedure in which she must "break" it?

Answer

There is no special way of coming out of iddat. Once she completes the time of iddat, she will come out of iddat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
