Wife
dies and husband now wants to marry her sister
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com,
thankyou!*
Question:
When the wife of a man dies and he (then) wants to get
married to the sister (of the deceased wife), does he have
to wait (for the passing of) the 'iddah of
the (deceased) woman? I anticipate a fatwa regarding these
issues, (and)
should a man approach such situations or what?
Response:
It is not necessary for the one whose wife has died and
he wishes to marry her sister to wait for the (passing
of) her 'iddah,
as there is no need for that.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
