Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a pregnant woman gives birth immediately after her husband's death, does her waiting period end with that?
Answer:
If she gives birth at the moment, she exits the waiting period.[At-Talaq 65:4] This verse is absolute. If she gives birth at the moment after his death, she exits the waiting period. Some scholars, as attributed to Ibn 'Abbas, hold that she observes the waiting period for the longer of the two periods. This is not the view of the majority. Yes. It is not the apparent meaning of the verse. Yes.

And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth
