The Ruling on the Waiting Period of a Wife Whose Husband Committed Suicide
A husband committed suicide, does his wife have to observe the waiting period or not? And how long is her waiting period?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The waiting period for a widow is the same regardless of the cause of death, which is four months and ten days, and God knows best.
