About this MCQ
This Hard Islamic Concepts and Terminology MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “What is the name for the waiting period a woman observes after divorce or widowhood before she may remarry?”
The accepted answer is A. Iddah. Iddah is the fact required by “What is the name for the waiting period a woman observes after divorce or widowhood before she may remarry” (option A). Option B (“Rasul”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Iddah. Option C (“Talaq”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Iddah. Remaining alternatives (Khutbah) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Iddah is identified. Islamic Concepts and Terminology questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Islamic Concepts and Terminology recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
