Question:
Another says: I am from the city of Jeddah. I asked one of the officials of the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice.
Answer:
What is the punishment? If he died while she was in the post-natal period, she observes the waiting period for four months. However, if he died before she gave birth, and then she gave birth—even if it was only an hour after the post-natal period began—she exits the waiting period upon giving birth. The children of Rahman are given a respite and a wide margin for them; whenever she gives birth, even if it is an hour after, the waiting period ends. But if he died while she was in the post-natal period, she must observe the four-month waiting period. Yes.
