Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws , said, ‘I asked him -asws about the man who divorces his woman and he is absent from her, from which day should she observe the waiting period?’ So he -asws said: ‘If she establishes the just proof that he divorced her during a known day, and she is convinced, so let her observe the waiting period from the day she was divorced; and if she did not memorise from which days, and during which month, so let her observe the waiting period from the day it (news) reached her’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany, (It has been narrated) from Abdu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘The woman from whom her husband dies and he is absent, so her waiting period is from the day (the news) reaches her, whether the proof is established or not established’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘When her husband dies from her, meaning and he is absent, so the proof is established upon his death, so her waiting period is from the day the news comes to her, four months and ten (days), because upon her is that she would mourn over him with regards to the death, four months and ten days.
