Ruling for Pregnant Women Whose Husband Has Died

SUMMARY: The hadith discusses the ruling of a pregnant woman whose husband has died and she gives birth after his death.

Sulaiman bin Yasir narrated that : Abu Hurairah, Ibn Abbas and Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman mentioned the pregnant women whose husband died and she gave birth after the death of her husband. So Ibn Abbas said: "She observes Iddah until the end of the two terms". Abu Salamah said: "Rather, she is allowed when she gives birth". Abu Hurairah said: "I am with my nephew," meaning Abu Salamah.So he sent a message to Umm Salamah the wife of the Prophet. She said: "Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth a short time after her husband died, so she sought the judgment of the Messenger of Allah and he ordered her to get married".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنَ، عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَذَاكَرُوا الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا الْحَامِلَ تَضَعُ عِنْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تَعْتَدُّ آخِرَ الأَجَلَيْنِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بَلْ تَحِلُّ حِينَ تَضَعُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِيَسِيرٍ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the ruling of a pregnant woman whose husband has died and she gives birth after his death. According to Ibn Abbas, the woman should observe her period of Iddah until the end of two terms. However, Abu Salamah suggested that she is allowed to get married when she gives birth. To settle this dispute between them, they sent a message to Umm Salamah who was the wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. She informed them that Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth shortly after her husband's death and sought judgement from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who ordered her to get married again. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible for a widow who is pregnant at the time of her husband's death to remarry once she has given birth even if it is before completing her period of Iddah as long as there are no other complications or issues involved in this matter.
