The answer

If a woman dies during her revocable divorce 'iddah, her husband inherits from her by consensus, because she is still considered to be in the status of a wife. However, if the divorce was irrevocable, such as a divorce for a financial consideration, or a khul‘ (divorce initiated by the wife), or a judicial annulment, or the final of three divorces not intended to deprive her of inheritance, then there is no mutual inheritance between the spouses.
