Whose statement is accepted if the wife first states her iddah has ended, and the husband then claims he reconciled during that iddah?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Reconciliation (Return During 'Iddah)
Primary text
If the wife precedes the husband by stating her waiting period has ended, and the husband then claims he performed reconciliation, the husband's claim is not accepted. This is because her report about the end of her iddah is accepted due to its possibility, thus rendering his claim of reconciliation as occurring after the ruling of separation has been established.
