Obligation of a woman in her `Iddah performing Ghusl


747

Q 9: What is the religious ruling on performing Ghusl (ritual bath) for a widow after the end of her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood)?


A: There is no special Ghusl prescribed for the end of the `Iddah of a widow, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Whoever innovates things in our affair [Islam] which are alien to it, these are to be rejected. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
