The Considered Calendar in Calculating the Waiting Period of Widowhood

Question
A woman whose husband has passed away, how should the waiting period be calculated, using the Hijri calendar or the Gregorian calendar?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The calculation should be based on the Hijri calendar in all matters related to religious issues, including the waiting period, and God knows best.
