Hadith record

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws , when ‘He asws was asked about a woman who had a husband, but he was absent from her, so she married another husband’. He asws said: ‘If it (the matter) is raised to the Imam asws , then four witnesses testify against her that there was a husband for her, absent, and that his materials and his news were coming to her, and that she has married another husband, it would be upon the Imam asws that he asws established the Penalty ( Hadd ) on her, and effected separation between her and the one she had married’. I said, ‘So the dower which she has taken from him, how should it be dealt with?’ He asws said: ‘If he can attain anything from it, so let him take it, and if he cannot attain anything from it, so everything what she has taken from it is Prohibited upon her, similar to the payment of the Immoral woman (prostitute)’.
