Understanding Iddat Period for Pregnant Women in Divorce Cases with Stillborn Babies

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I just wanted to know how the iddat period of a woman works when she is pregnant. If I divorce my wife while she is pregnant and the baby dies in her stomach but she is not aware of this is she still in iddat until the doctors deliver the baby even though the baby has died or does her iddat end the day the baby dies in her stomach even though shes was not aware and the baby is still inside her?

Bismillaah

A: The day it was delivered.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
