Hadith record

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at, said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who bought a slave girl and there did not happen to be a husband for her. Does he have to clear her womb (make her observe the waiting period)?’ He asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Supposing she does not menstruate?’ So he asws said: ‘Her matter is difficult. So if he goes to her, so he should not make the water descend (discharge the seed) until it becomes clear whether she is pregnant or not?’ I said, ‘And in how much (time) would it become clear for him?’ He asws said: ‘In forty five days’.
