Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The best of what I have heard about the testament of a pregnant woman and about what settlements she is permitted in her property is that the pregnant woman is like the sick person. When the illness is light; and one does not fear for the sick person; he does with his property what he likes. If the illness is such that his life is feared for; he can only dispose of a third of his estate. He said; It is the same with a woman who is pregnant. The beginning of pregnancy is good news and joy. It is not illness and no fear because Allah the Blessed; the Exalted; said in His Book; We gave her good news of Ishaq and after Ishaq; Yaqub. Surat ll ayat 71. And He said; She bore a light burden and passed by with it; but when she became heavy; they called upon Allah; their Lord; If you give us a good-doing son; we will be among the thankful. Surat 7 ayat 189. When a pregnant woman becomes heavy; she is only permitted to dispose of a third of her estate. The beginning of this restriction is after six months. Allah; the Blessed; the Exalted; said in His Book; Mothers suckle their children for two complete years. And He said; his bearing and weaning are thirty months. Surat 2 ayat 233. When six months have passed for the pregnant woman from the day she conceived; she is only permitted to dispose of a third of her property. Yahya said that he heard Malik say; A man who is advancing in the row for battle; can only dispose of a third of his property. He is in the same position as a pregnant woman or an ill person who is feared for; as long as he is in that situation.
