Divorce and Waiting Period
Post 023
🚯Method of Iddat During Days of Ignorance - 01🚯
Hazrat Umme Salma narrates that a woman came to RasoolAllah and said, “My daughter’s husband has passed away and she has pain in her eyes. Can we apply Kohl (Surma) in her eyes?” He replied, “No.” She asked the same question two or three times and each time RasoolAllah replied that she could not. Then the mercy to all the worlds said, “(In Islamic law) this is Iddat and Mourning which lasts for four months and ten days. (It seems as though this is difficult) but in the days of ignorance if a woman’s husband died her waiting period was a full year and when the year had passed she would throw camel dung to signify that her waiting period was over.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)
In the pre-Islamic days of Ignorance different areas and different tribes had all kinds of peculiar customs that a woman was forced to obey if her husband died. These customs were regarded as being Religious as well as local and Communial Customs.
In India, Hindus would burn the widow alive along with the body of her dead husband and this was called ‘SATI.’
In Arabia, when a husband would die, the following year would be extremely difficult for her.
(Details of this are described in Sunan Abu Dawood while a similar Hadith is also found in Bukhari Shareef Hadith 5337.)
