Iddat and Abortion

Q: A pregnant woman was divorced by her husband. During her iddat (waiting period) she aborted the child. Would her iddat be complete?

A:Yes her iddat will be complete if some of the limbs of the child was formed already. However she would be guilty of a major sin for aborting the child.
