Nikah (Marriage) - Talaaq (Divorce) The Majlis Vol 28 No 08, p.9

My husband had given me one Talaaq.

Question

My husband had given me one Talaaq. We separated and after a year we reconciled without Nikah. He now issued another Talaaq. Soon thereafter he died. What is my Iddat?

Answer

If you had reconciled with your ex-husband after the Iddat of 3 haidhs, but without Nikah, then you were living in zina with him. The second „divorce‟ had no validity because you were not his wife. Since you were not his wife after the first Talaaq became Baa-in, the man‟s (the ex-husband's) death has no effect for you. There is no Iddat to observe.
