The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the divorce of a pregnant woman valid? And does her waiting period end?

The Shaykh:
If her pregnancy is confirmed, her divorce is valid. Yes.

The questioner:
And does the waiting period end with the delivery of the child or with the longer of the two periods?

The Shaykh:
Without a doubt, it ends with the delivery of the child
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birthوَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
