Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabatany who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying, ‘Every Muslim between two Muslims is an atheist, from Al-Islam, and denies Rsool-Allah saww of his saww Prophet-hood, and belies him saww . Thus, his blood is allowed (to be spilled) for the one who hears than from him, and his wife is irrevocably divorced from him from the day he reneges, and his wealth would be distributed upon his inheritors, and his wife would observe the waiting period, a waiting period of the woman widowed from her husband, and it is upon the Imam asws that he asws kills him if they come to him asws with him, and he asws would not give him time to repent’.

And from him, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far asws about the apostate. So he asws said: ‘The one who wishes to be away from Al-Islam, and disbelieve with what was Revealed unto Muhammad saww after his Islam. So there is no repentance for him, and his being killed is Obligated, and his wife is irrevocably divorced from him, and whatever he leaves would be distributed upon his children’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ib, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws , said, ‘I asked him asws about a Christian woman who was under (married to) a Christian. So he divorced her. Is there a waiting period upon her similar to what is upon the Muslim woman?’ So he asws said: ‘No, because the People of the Book are in the domain of the Imam asws . Do you not see that they are paying the taxation to him asws just as the slave pays whatever he earns to his master?’ He asws said: ‘And the one who becomes a Muslim from them, so he is free. The taxation would be dropped from him. I said, ‘So what is her waiting period if the Muslim man intends to marry her?’ He asws said: ‘Her waiting period is a waiting period of the slave woman, two menstruations, or forty-five days, before she became a Muslim’. I said to him asws , ‘Supposing she becomes a Muslim after her divorce?’ He asws said: ‘If she becomes a Muslim after her divorce, so her waiting period is a waiting period of the Muslim woman’. I said, ‘Supposing he dies from her, and she is a Christian and he is a Christian, so a man from the Muslims intends to marry her?’ He asws said: ‘The Muslim man cannot marry her until she observes the waiting period from the Christian, of four months and ten (days), being a waiting period of the Muslim woman widowed from her husband’. I said to him asws , ‘How did it become, when she is divorced her waiting period is that of the slave girl, and her waiting period became, when her husband dies from her, a waiting period of the free Muslim woman, and you asws mentioned that they are in the domain of the Imam asws ?’ So he asws said: ‘Her waiting period regarding the divorce is not like her waiting period when he husband dies from her’. Then he asws said: ‘The slave girls, and the free women, both of them are equal, when their husbands die from them, with regards to the waiting period, except that the free woman would limit herself (in mourning), and the slave girl would not limit herself (in mourning)’.
