Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The waiting period of a pregnant woman ends with the delivery of the child, even if it is by a short time. As for the divorce of a pregnant woman, if it turns out that she is in her fourth month of pregnancy, does she remain for the entire duration of the pregnancy, or does she remain for three menstrual cycles?
Answer:
As long as she is pregnant, her waiting period is the delivery of the child.[At-Talaq 65:4] This is a general verse; the verse is general. Even if he divorced her at the beginning of the ninth month, and only an hour or two remained of the pregnancy, she exits the waiting period.
