What is the ruling if a woman finds that she is pregnant during her iddah period? Does the iddah continue on with the 3 months rule or does it continue until the pregnancy is complete?

    I assume you mean that she realized she was pregnant during her 'iddah.

    No. She falls pregnant during her iddah

    This needs further information. Please consider editing your post because falling pregnant in 'iddah may mean either a reconciliation happened or something unlawfull. In any case i doubt that the actually given answer adresses this case.

All the scholars agree that the iddah of a divorced woman that is pregnant ends when she gives birth because Allah says in the Quran:

“And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is until they lay down their burden”

(al-Talaaq 65:4)

  • Could you provide evidence for the statement that all scholars agree on that even if she doesn't want to?
