| Summary: | A widow is a woman who has been left alone after the death
of a husband who, supposedly, should be the one who acts
as the breadwinner of the family. This group faces numerous
obstacles and turbulence in order to survive after the death
of their husbands. However, Islam has taken a comprehensive
approach in order to protect the rights of the widow. This article
will analyze and discuss the way of Islam in approaching the
maslahah of a widowerr through the order of a waiting period
(‘iddah), ihdad and Islamic inheritance. In addition, the
explanation of the objective of syara’ and the wisdom behind the
law will also be justified. It is concluded that the obligation of
‘iddah is a symbol of personal devotion to Allah and in honour
to the former husband and his family. It also seeks to ensure
the purity of consanguinity if the woman is pregnant during
the waiting period (‘iddah). The obligation of ihdad is not the
captivity of women but it is an emotional transition period and
the preservation of the glory of a woman. In addition, Islam has given special privileges to the widow when listed as a beneficiary
in the distribution of the inheritance of her former husband. |
