1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah who has said the following
“He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘The waiting period for a pregnant widow is the one which ends last. If she is pregnant when four months end but her child is not yet born, then her waiting period ends when the child is born. If she gives birth before the end of four months and ten days, she must wait until the four months and ten days are complete and this is the longer of the two time periods.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا الْحَامِلُ أَجَلُهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ إِذَا كَانَتْ حُبْلَى فَتَمَّتْ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٌ وَ لَمْ تَضَعْ فَإِنَّ عِدَّتَهَا إِلَى أَنْ تَضَعَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ تَضَعُ حَمْلَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتِمَّ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٌ تَعْتَدُّ بَعْدَ مَا تَضَعُ تَمَامَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٍ وَ ذَلِكَ أَبْعَدُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ .
