The Shari'ah Time for Divorcing a Pregnant Wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: His wife is pregnant and he wants to divorce her. He asks: What is the Shari'ah time for divorce?

Answer:
It is permissible to divorce a pregnant woman; there is no harm in divorcing her. If her pregnancy is evident, he may divorce her, because there is no harm in divorcing her. Likewise, he may divorce her during a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her. If it is a period of purity in which he did not have intercourse with her, he may divorce her. A pregnant woman may be divorced without any specific time limit. Yes.
