The ruling on taking back a pregnant divorced woman after she gives birth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter says: Is it true that if a husband divorces his wife and she is pregnant, and she separates from him, then if she gives birth to a son, he takes her back?

Answer:
We take her back. He takes her back to her husband. As for if she gives birth to a girl, she may be in a state of distress. Calm down. No, he has no say in it; the child has no say in it, whether it is a male or a female. Once she delivers her pregnancy, she exits the waiting period, and he has no right to take her back,
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birthوَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
. So if she gives birth while pregnant, even if it is a moment after the divorce, she exits the waiting period, whether the newborn is a male or a female, there is no difference, whether alive or dead.
