Iddah of Death

Question
Is the iddah of death the same duration for an elderly woman as well as for a young girl?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The waiting period for a widow is four months and ten days, for both the elderly and the young. This is specified in the Holy Quran, and God knows best.
