Jika tunang meninggal dunia sebelum nikah, apa status hadiah, mahar dan idah?

Tiada idah, tiada pusaka dan tiada hubungan suami isteri, kerana akad belum berlaku. Tunang bukan isteri atau suami, jadi tunang yang ditinggalkan tidak wajib beridah, tidak mewarisi harta, dan tiada hak mahar. Jika ada wang mahar yang sudah diserahkan, ia dikembalikan kepada pemberi atau warisnya. Hadiah yang sudah diserahkan secara sempurna biasanya kekal milik penerima, melainkan ada persetujuan atau 'uruf yang berlainan; elok diselesaikan secara baik antara dua keluarga. Tunang yang berduka boleh bersedih dan mendoakan, tetapi tidak dikenakan larangan ihdad seperti balu. Lihat faraid .

If a fiancé(e) dies before the marriage, what is the status of the gifts, mahr and ʿiddah?

No ʿiddah, no inheritance and no marital relationship, because the contract has not taken place.
A fiancé(e) is not a wife or husband, so the one left behind need not observe ʿiddah, does not inherit, and has no right to mahr. If any mahr money had been handed over, it is returned to the giver or their heirs. Gifts that were fully handed over usually remain the recipient's property, unless there is a different agreement or custom ('uruf); it is best settled amicably between the two families. A grieving fiancé(e) may mourn and pray, but is not subject to the mourning restrictions (ihdad) of a widow. See faraid.
