My question is that a women husband has been passed away her age (women age) about 55 – 60+. Is the iddah period (necessary) to be fulfill by her?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 585/575/H=06/1437)
Iddahis wajib on her as well. The iddah of death is not revoked in any stage of life.
Allah knows Best!
