What is the ruling on a man who divorced his wife before consummation and then took her back, assuming that a revocable return was permissible, and she became pregnant by him; then he wanted to renew the marriage contract before she gives birth, after he learned that a revocable return was not permissible, and must the woman observe an 'iddah?

The aforementioned wife must observe the waiting period () like a divorced woman, and her waiting period ends upon giving birth, because she is pregnant. It is permissible for the one who had intercourse with her to marry her while she is in her waiting period and pregnant.
