The questioner:
Is a woman whose husband died while she was in the first month of pregnancy considered to be in 'iddah until she gives birth?

The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted said:
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birthوَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
So the pregnant woman, if her husband dies, remains in 'iddah until she gives birth, and once she delivers, she exits the 'iddah. Yes.
