Question:
Is it permissible to divorce a pregnant woman or not?
Response:
There is no harm in divorcing a pregnant woman, as the Prophet
(sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
said to 'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar when he divorced his wife whilst
she was on her menses:
((Take
her back, and hold on to her until she becomes pure then comes
on her menses, then becomes pure, then divorce her if you
wish, whilst she is in a state of purity or pregnant, before
you touch her)).
