Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
Surah 2 · Verse 234
And those who die among you and leave behind wives, they (the widows) shall wait with regard to themselves for four months and ten days, then when they reach their (prescribed) term, there is no sin on you in that which they do for themselves in a recognised (good manner), and Allah is informed of what you do.
“The waiting period for a widow is four months and ten days after the death of her husband i.e. after this period she can marry and permission to propose to such widows for marriage is given.”
