The Ruling on the Waiting Period of the Abandoned Wife
A woman whose husband abandoned her for more than twenty years, and he has recently passed away, does she have a waiting period to observe?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The widow observes the customary waiting period; because she is a wife even if her husband has abandoned her, and God knows best.
