Hadith.4792 - Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj asked Abu Ibrahim (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as)) about a pregnant woman whom her husband divorces, and then she miscarries, whether the miscarriage was fully developed or not, or if she delivered a lump of flesh - does her waiting period end with that? Imam (as) replied: "Anything she delivers that is clearly recognized as a pregnancy, whether fully developed or not, her waiting period is completed with that, even if it is a lump of flesh." Imam (as) also said: "I heard him say that if a man divorces his wife and she claims to be pregnant, she should wait for nine months. If she gives birth, then so be it, but if not, she must observe a waiting period of three months, after which she is completely separated from him."
