بَابُ إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الْحَامِلِ بِوَضْعِ الْحَمَلِ سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ مُطَلَّقَةٌ أَوْ مُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا لِقَوْلِ اللهِ: «وَالاتُ الاحمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمَلَهُنَّ»

Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7234 — The Waiting Period for a Pregnant Woman
عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّنَابِلِ بْنِ بَعْكَكٍ قَالَ وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بَعْدَ وَفَاۃِ زَوْجِهَا بِثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ تَشَوَّفَتْ لِلنِّكَاحِ فَاُنْكِرَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيْهَا وَذُكِرَ ذٰلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّي اللّٰہُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ حَلَّ أَجَلُهَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ فَقَدْ خَلٰى أَجَلُهَا۔))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sanabil bin Ba’kkak (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Subai’ah bint Harith gave birth to a child twenty-three or twenty-five days after the death of her husband. When the period of postnatal bleeding had passed, she expressed a desire to remarry, but this was objected to, and the matter was mentioned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If that woman wishes to do so, she may, because her waiting period has been completed due to childbirth.
