Question

I am currently observing my iddat. My husband divorced me. According to shariah, my iddat period was 3 months/3 menstrual cycles. When he gave divorce I was menstruating. Will that be counted in the 3 cycles to complete iddat.

Answer

No. It will be 3 full menstrual cycles after the one in which you were divorced.

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