Question
Assalamualaikum.
Please help with the following.
Idda for zina ? If yes, she did zina in her idda period with another man (last ten days) so what effect does the zinaa have on the iddah?

Answer:

ﺑﺴﻢ اﷲ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﯿﻢ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

There is
no iddah for a woman who committed fornication, hence it would not affect her current iddah. [1]

Only Allah knows best
