The first question of fatwa number ( 13121 )
Q1: If the wife of the deceased was pregnant and then gave birth, and he had another wife, do they all exit the mourning period?
A1: The waiting period of a pregnant woman whose husband has died ends with the complete delivery of the fetus, and so does the mourning period. The waiting period and mourning period of a woman who is not pregnant are four months and ten days. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:234]
And He said:[At-Talaq 65:4] As for the woman who is not pregnant, she does not exit the mourning period due to the delivery of her co-wife’s pregnancy. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]
وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًاAnd He said:
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth
وَأُولاتُ الأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّThe Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled in favor of Saba' al-Aslamiyyah that she exited the waiting period of widowhood upon the delivery of her pregnancy
وقد حكم النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لسبيعة الأسلمية بخروجها من عدة الوفاة بوضع الحمل
