A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ib, and Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws having said that: ‘The slave girl, and the free woman, both of them, when their husbands die from them, are both equal regarding the waiting period, except that the free woman would limit herself (for mourning), and the slave girl would not limit herself (for mourning)’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Noman, from Ibn Muskan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about the slave girl when she is divorced, what is her waiting period?’ He asws said: ‘Two menstruations, or two months, until she menstruates’. I said, ‘Supposing her husband dies from her?’ So he asws said: ‘Ali asws said regarding the mothers of the children: ‘They should not get married until they observe the waiting period of four months and ten (days), and they are slaves’.
