Does the divorce of a pregnant woman take effect with evidence?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And here is a question: Does the divorce of a pregnant woman take effect?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The student :
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth وأولات الأحمال أجلهن أن يضعن حملهن
[At-Talaq 65:4]
.

The Shaykh : All right, take a rest.
The divorce of a pregnant woman takes effect, contrary to what some people think, that the divorce of a pregnant woman does not take effect, because Allah said:
O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period يا أيها النبي إذا طلقتم النساء فطلقوهن لعدتهن
[At-Talaq 65:1]
Then He said:
And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth وأولات الأحمال أجلهن أن يضعن حملهن
[At-Talaq 65:4]
.
So the pregnant woman is divorced, and her waiting period is the delivery of the child.
What do you say? The one behind, you stand until I give you the question.
