The validity or invalidity of a marriage to another man may depend on whether the earlier waiting period has ended.

A marriage during ʿiddah is not treated like a marriage after its completion. If the endpoint is disputed because qurūʾ is interpreted differently, legal conclusions about a proposed new marriage may also differ.

Illustration: a divorced woman wishes to remarry at a disputed late stage of her waiting period. The number three alone cannot settle the question; the meaning of qurūʾ and the endpoint must first be determined.

Do not combine the criteria of different legal schools into one unqualified ruling.
