Death before the wedding

[*charisma*]

Assalamu Alaikum

If a couple completes nikkah and the husband dies before the wedding, does the wife have to complete a 3iddah? And would it be different if the marriage was consummated already?

Jazakum Allahu Khair for any responses

regarding the widow's idah..

...no `Iddah have you to count in respect of them.) This is a command on which the scholars are agreed, that if a woman is divorced before the marriage is consummated, she does not have to observe the `Iddah (prescribed period for divorce) and she may go and get married immediately to whomever she wishes. The only exception in this regard is a woman whose husband died, in which case she has to observe an `Iddah of four months and ten days even if the marriage was not consummated. This is also according to the consensus of the scholars.
