Question:
She says: I am writing to you this letter, including in it a set of questions, and I hope you will answer them. This is because we have a woman in her fiftieth year whose husband has passed away. I intentionally mentioned her age, and I intentionally mentioned her age, so that you know there is no doubt about the possibility of pregnancy or childbirth, and also there is no slightest thought of a second marriage to another man. What is required, may Allah have mercy on us and on you, is what is required of this woman regarding the waiting period? And what is the waiting period?
Answer:
that he has passed away from her. He has passed away from her. The woman in the waiting period whose husband has died observes the waiting period for four months and ten days if she is not pregnant, as Allah the Exalted said[Al-Baqarah 2:234] As for the woman whose husband has died and she is pregnant, her waiting period is the delivery of the child, as Allah the Exalted said[At-Talaq 65:4] So the verse is general for the woman whose husband has died and for the divorced woman; her waiting period is the delivery of the child. Yes.

And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]
وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًاAnd for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth
وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
