The waiting period of the elderly woman and the pregnant woman whose husband has died

Question:
If a woman whose husband has died is elderly and not of childbearing age, is her waiting period four months and ten days, or is it the waiting period of a young woman?

Answer:
No, my brother. The waiting period for a woman whose husband has died is four months and ten days, absolutely, whether she menstruates or not, whether she is old or young. It is four months and ten days, absolutely, in the case of all wives whose husbands have died. His saying, the Exalted: This is general. Except if the woman whose husband died is pregnant, then her waiting period is until she gives birth, whether the pregnancy is long or short, due to His saying, the Exalted: This is general for the woman whose husband died and others. Yes.
