Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman whose husband has died and who gave birth to a child one month after his death: does her waiting period and her period of mourning end after the birth, or must she wait four months and ten days?

Answer:
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birthوَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
So if she gives birth after her husband’s death, even if it is by a quarter of an hour or ten minutes, it is permissible; her waiting period and her period of mourning end, and she becomes lawful for other husbands.
