Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is not permissible to renew the contract before the expiration of the term or the duration. If the term is one month and you want it to be two months, you must first gift her the duration and then contract with her for the two months. There is no need to wait for a waiting period since the waiting period applies to another person, not to oneself. You can contract with her repeatedly, and there is no limit to that.
May you be successful in all good.
