The Case of a Man who Divorces his Wife and Dies before her Waiting period Ends

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “This is about the case of a man who divorces his wife in a manner that gives him the right to go back to her, then he dies. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘ Abd Allah) عليه السلام, has said, ‘She must count her waiting period in the form of the longer period of time, which is four months and ten days.”’
