Yes, he has to wait for four months and ten days. It is obligatory for the wife to observe the waiting period on the death of her husband. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): And those of you who die and leave wives, their wives shall wait four months and ten days. (Surat al-Baqara, 2: 234) This rule applies to all types of adult and minor wives, whether marital or not. Hazrat Ata Rah. "A woman whose husband has died will have to wait for four months and ten days," she said. Although she does not have intercourse with her husband and she is also a breastfed or newly weaned child.
