The waiting period of a pregnant woman ends with the delivery of the child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! If a pregnant woman’s husband dies, does her waiting period end as soon as the signs of labor appear, or after the delivery?
Did you read Surat al-Talaq?Read:
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birthوَأُولاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ
[Al-Talaq:4], the waiting period cannot end, whether due to life or death, except with the delivery of the child.And here we ask: If there are two in her womb and she delivers the first one, does the waiting period end? No.
Where did you get this from?How do you say: No, where is your evidence? “Their carrying” is general, (that they deliver what they carry).
The child has not been delivered; the child is still there.
(Their carrying) here: it is a singular noun with a possessive, so it implies generality,Meaning: everything that is in her womb.
