Types of the waiting period.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And let it be known that the waiting period has types:
The first type is the waiting period of the woman whose husband has died. If her husband dies after the marriage contract, she must observe the waiting period in all cases. If she is pregnant and gives birth, the waiting period ends, even if she has only been in it for one day.
The evidence for this is the hadith of Subay'ah al-Aslamiyyah and she did not stay but for a few nights .
Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him), al-Zuhri, said: "I see no harm in her marrying while she is still in her blood, except that her husband does not approach her until she is purified from her post-natal bleeding". Yes.

Her husband died and she wanted to marry, so Abu al-Sanabil, Abu al-Sanabil ibn Ba'akk, passed by her and saw her adorning herself for husbands—meaning she had taken off her mourning clothes—and he said to her, "Do you want to marry? By Allah, you will not marry until four months and ten days have passed for you."
أن زوجها مات عنها وأرادت أن تتزوج فمر عليها أبو السنابل أبو السنابل ابن بعكك ورآها تتجمل للأزواج - يعني قد خلعت ثياب الإحداد - فقال لها أتريدون أن تنكحي والله ما أنت بناكح حتى ياتي عليك أربعة أشهر وعشراShe said, "So I tightened my clothes and then went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her the ruling that if she gave birth, even if it was shortly after her husband's death, her waiting period would end."
قالت فشددت ثيابي ثم ذهبت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم وذكرت له ذلك فأفتاها النبي صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم بأنها لو وضعت ولو بعد موت زوجها بيسير فإنها تنقضي عدتهاIbn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him), al-Zuhri, said: "I see no harm in her marrying while she is still in her blood, except that her husband does not approach her until she is purified from her post-natal bleeding". Yes.
