"In the case of a pregnant woman whose husband has passed away, her expenses are to be provided from the wealth of the child she carries in her womb."
4790 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "نَفَقَةُ اَلْحَامِلِ اَلْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ اَلْمَالِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ ".
Hadith.4790 - In the narration of Al-Sakuni, he said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said:
"The expenses of a pregnant woman whose husband has passed away are to be provided from the entire wealth until she gives birth."
4791 - وَ- رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَوَلَدَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشَرَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ فَقَضَى أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ لَا يَخْطُبَهَا حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْكَحُوهَا إِيَّاهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا أَمْسَكُوهَا فَإِنْ أَمْسَكُوهَا رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ.
Hadith.4791 - Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said:
"The Commander of the Faithful (as) passed judgment regarding a woman whose husband had passed away while she was pregnant. She gave birth before the completion of four months and ten days, and then she married another man.
Imam (as) ruled that she must be separated from him and that he should not propose to her again until the longer of the two waiting periods is completed. If the woman's guardians wish, they may marry her to him, and if they wish, they may prevent it. If they prevent it, they must return his wealth to him."
4792 - وَ- سَأَلَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ- أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ الْحُبْلَى يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَتَضَعُ سِقْطاً قَدْ تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ أَوْ وَضَعَتْهُ مُضْغَةً أَ تَنْقَضِي بِذَلِكَ عِدَّتُهَا فَقَالَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَضَعَتْهُ يَسْتَبِينُ أَنَّهُ حَمْلٌ تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ فَقَدْ انْقَضَتْ بِهِ عِدَّتُهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُضْغَةً قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَادَّعَتْ حَبَلًا انْتَظَرَتْ تِسْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِنْ وَلَدَتْ وَ إِلَّا اعْتَدَّتْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ.
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."
4793 - وَ- رَوَى سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: أَدْنَى مَا تَحْمِلُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ أَكْثَرُ مَا تَحْمِلُ لِسَنَتَيْنِ.

"The minimum period a woman can carry a pregnancy is six months, and the maximum period she can carry is two years."
4794 - وَ- رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الصَّيْقَلِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى قَالَ يُطَلِّقُهَا قُلْتُ فَيُرَاجِعُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ يُرَاجِعُهَا قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدَ مَا رَاجَعَهَا أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا قَالَ لَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ.

Imam (as) replied: "Yes, he can take her back."
I asked: "What if he decides to divorce her again after taking her back?"
Imam (as) said: "No, not until she gives birth."
4795 - وَ سُئِلَ الصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَامِلِ يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا ثُمَّ يُرَاجِعُهَا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا ثُمَّ يُرَاجِعُهَا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ.
