The waiting period of a divorced woman whose pregnancy is discovered before the end of the waiting period

Question:
This questioner says that he divorced his wife, and then after a period of time, and before the end of the waiting period, it became clear that she was pregnant. He asks about the duration of the waiting period: does it end with three months, or three menstrual cycles, or with the delivery of the child?

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said: “And those who are pregnant, their term is that they deliver their burden.” That is, their waiting period is that they deliver their child. So the waiting period of a pregnant woman is until she delivers her child. If she delivers her child, even if it is a moment or an hour after the divorce, she exits the waiting period. And if it is delayed, even if she remains for four years, she is in the waiting period until she delivers. So the pregnancy may be long or short, and she does not exit the waiting period except by delivering it. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
