Iddat commencing from the time the husband issues talaaq

Q: My husband and I separated from each other since 1 year and I don't have any relationship with him, not before and not now. Now I take divorce from him forcefully is my iddat applicable on me or not?

A: If he has divorced you, then your iddat has commenced from the time he issued the divorce.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
