Divorced while pregnant, then gave birth to a male: Is she forbidden to her husband?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some people say: If a woman is divorced with a divorce that does not allow taking her back, and she was pregnant, and she gives birth to a male; then she is not forbidden to her husband if he takes her back, and it is permissible for her to return to him after she gives birth to the child. What is the correctness of such a statement?
Answer: This has no basis. This is said by some of the common people. Some of them say: If one of his two wives gives birth to a child; she exits the waiting period, and her co-wife also exits the waiting period with her, if she gave birth to a male. All of this is superstition with no basis. All of this is from the superstitions of the common people. Yes. Rather, the male child and the female child are the same in this. If she gives birth while pregnant, she exits the waiting period, whether she is divorced or her husband has died, and whether the child born is male or female. The second woman who did not give birth remains in her waiting period until it is completed, the waiting period of divorce or the waiting period of death, and she has no connection to her co-wife. He has no right to take her back if the divorce is final, or if she exited the waiting period by giving birth. He has no right to take her back after that, whether the child is male or female. When she gives birth, she exits the waiting period, even if the child is male. Yes. That is to say: If he did not take her back before she gave birth, and the divorce was one or two, not three. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
