Iddah is a waiting period required for a woman after the dissolution of marriage due to divorce or the death of her husband. This article examines the concept of iddah in Islamic jurisprudence, its regulation under Indonesian positive law, its legal consequences, and the similarities and differences between fiqh and positive law. This study uses a literature review with a normative-doctrinal approach. The findings indicate that iddah has biological, psychological, social, and legal dimensions. Indonesian positive law accommodates the main principles of fiqh through the Compilation of Islamic Law, while its implementation may take contextual considerations into account. Both systems recognize iddah as a legal obligation aimed, among others, at maintaining lineage clarity and protecting women's dignity, although differences remain in interpretation and implementation.
