Understanding Iddat: Reasons, Advantages, and the Spiritual Impact on the Deceased.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: 

  1. I want to know the reasons of iddat and the advantages of iddat. Does it make the soul happy of the deceased one?
  2. I always see my husband in my dreams. He died in a car accident so I saw I am saying to him that you left me here alone but he says that I am wid you. I also saw a scare of sajda on his forhead. I always saw him more happy and in good conditions and situations.

A: Iddat is the law of Shari’ah. You should recite a portion of the Qur’an or give some sadaqah and convey the reward to your deceased husband.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
