"And those who have not yet menstruated" ie for those who have not yet menstruated, if you doubted, their waiting period is three months, negating the reference to the previous verse, these are those women who have not yet reached the age of menstruation and those like them who's menstruation escapes observation. }} | "And those who have not yet menstruated" ie for those who have not yet menstruated, if you doubted, their waiting period is three months, negating the reference to the previous verse, these are those women who have not yet reached the age of menstruation and those like them who's menstruation escapes observation. }} | ||

Due to their youth, and their lack of reaching the age of menstruation (i.e. puberty), i.e. their waiting period is 3 months, (quoting the Qur'an) "their waiting period is 3 month and [the same is the case for] those who have not menstruated yet"). }} | Due to their youth, and their lack of reaching the age of menstruation (i.e. puberty), i.e. their waiting period is 3 months, (quoting the Qur'an) "their waiting period is 3 month and [the same is the case for] those who have not menstruated yet"). }} | ||

As for the waiting period, it is summed up in its saying (quoting the Qur'an) "if you doubted" there are two sayings: one of them, which appears exceedingly understandable, 'this is in the case of doubt'; and the other, whose meaning is 'those who have certainly reached to the point of despair [menopause].' The meaning of the first: if you doubted her blood, is it menstrual blood or caused by an illness or health irregularity? Or perhaps if you suspect a calamity (miscarriage) has happened or not? Or if you doubed: i.e. if you don't know of their waiting period. And this much is clear: Those "who have not yet menstruated" includes those who have not menstruated due to their young age. }} | As for the waiting period, it is summed up in its saying (quoting the Qur'an) "if you doubted" there are two sayings: one of them, which appears exceedingly understandable, 'this is in the case of doubt'; and the other, whose meaning is 'those who have certainly reached to the point of despair [menopause].'
