What is the ruling on adopting the view that the waiting period of a woman whose husband has died is the longer of the two periods: four months and ten days, or the period of pregnancy?

Question:
Whoever wants to depart from the common understanding and holds that the waiting period of a woman whose husband has died is the longer of the two periods: four months and ten days, or the period of pregnancy,

Answer:
No, the stronger position is contrary to this, although some scholars, such as Ibn Abbas, held this view. However, the stronger position is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stated explicitly on the matter. This is an explicit statement on the matter that she observes the waiting period until she gives birth. Yes.
