I can't make sense of what is being said here.
I asked a simple question.
Do you have to fast for 60 consecutive days?
Can break it and make sure you complete it?
Can you feed others as ransom?
If you have paid diya to the family of the deceased do you still have to fast?

In case you mistakenly killed somebody in an accident, is it compulsory to fast for 60 days non stop or you can break the fast and complete it later?

Can one break the fast and later continue to complete it, in case of unintentional murder through accident or one must fast for 60 consecutive days.

After demise of husband women can do everything.. She can go to school to teach.. She can go to work etc etc.. Only thing is she should wait single for 4.3 months..
Men doesn't need to observe idda coz men already has the right..  No one to suppress men.. Women then and even now being suppressed in families... So Allah has introduced thus idda in verse 2:234-235 considering women's safety...

Thanks for your submission. I truly cherish your understanding as it seemed in line with mine. The unresolved question is if a woman already had a right AND She the breadwinner of the family, does waiting necessarily for her?
Does the word 'AZWAJ' necessarily mean woman, wife or widow?

How justifiable is quran to legislate iddah for women and not for men. Men should grieve as well over the loss of their spouse not just women. I agreed with you that the requirement is not for mourning. If it is for pregnancy what happened to women who already menopausal and lost their husbands, should they have to wait?
Supposing the woman in question is the breadwinner of the family has she iddah to do? Supposing she is the owner of the building, has she iddah to do? Thanks for your input

If there's any discussion on iddah (waiting period) , widow, Marriage proposal during iddah, can the admin tag me on it?

In this modern era, I think if the purpose of iddah is to determine pregnancy, Iddah is no longer necessary because the quickest and the most simplest test is pregnancy test.
I also believe that for those who are in clear menopausal stage there's no need for iddah for such a people.
The biggest question that bother my mind is that if God is All knowing, wouldn't He He know that all the knowledge and development will evolve as at now, or is it that quran is discussion a completely different topic and we are mistaken it for iddah?
@wakas, @Ayman @Nabi

What is the full exegesis of 2:234 - 235  as it relates to iddah and menopausal woman who lost her husband and making proposal to a widow while in Iddah?

Does a menopausal woman has iddah to observe in the case of husband death?
Can you make marriage proposal to a widow while in Iddah (waiting period)?

Does a menopausal woman has iddah (waiting period) to observe?
While in Iddah can you make marriage proposal to a widow?
