Divorce
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 178:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
that he had divorced his wife while she
was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle . 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab asked Allah's Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle
said, "Order him (your son) to take her back and keep her till
she is clean and then to wait till she gets her next period and
becomes clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to keep her, he can
do so, and if he wishes to divorce her he can divorce her before
having sexual intercourse with her; and that is the prescribed
period which Allah has fixed for the women meant to be
divorced."

Narrated Anas bin Sirin:
Ibn 'Umar said: "I divorced my wife
while she was menstruating. 'Umar mentioned that to the Prophet
. The Prophet said, (to my father), "Let your son take her
back." I asked (Ibn 'Umar), "Is such a divorce counted (i.e. as
one legal divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Of course." Narrated Yunus
bin Jubair: Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet said to 'Umar, 'Order
him (Ibn 'Umar) to take her back.' " I asked, "Is such a divorce
counted (as one legal divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "What do you
think if someone becomes helpless and foolish?"
Volume 7, Book

(Divorcing my wife during her menses)

I asked Az-Zuhri, "Which of the wives
of the Prophet sought refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I
was told by 'Ursa that 'Aisha said, 'When the daughter of
Al-Jaun was brought to Allah's Apostle (as his bride) and he
went near her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He
said, "You have sought refuge with The Great; return to your
family."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 182:
Narrated Abu Usaid:
We went out with the Prophet to a
garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between which
we sat down. The Prophet said, "Sit here," and went in (the
garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought
and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of
Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with
her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to her, "Give me
yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a princess
give herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The Prophet raised
his hand to pat her so that she might become tranquil. She said,
"I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought
refuge with One Who gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to
us and said, "O Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen dresses to
wear and let her go back to her family." Narrated Sahl and Abu
Usaid: The Prophet married Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she
was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her. It seemed
that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid
to prepare her and to provide her with two white linen dresses.
(See Hadith No. 541).

Narrated Abi Ghallab Yunus bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar,"(What is said
regarding) a man divorces his wife during her period?" He said,
"Do you know Ibn 'Umar? Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife while she
was menstruating. 'Umar then went to the Prophet and mentioned
that to him. The Prophet ordered him to take her back and when
she became clean, he could divorce her if he wanted." I asked
(Ibn 'Umar), "Was that divorce counted as one legal divorce?" He
said, "If one becomes helpless and foolish (will he be excused?
Of course not). "
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin
Adi Al-Ansari and asked, "O 'Asim! Tell me, if a man sees his
wife with another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would
kill him in Qisas, or what should he do? O 'Asim! Please ask
Allah's Apostle about that." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle about
that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and considered it
disgraceful. What 'Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on
him. When he returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and
said "O 'Asim! What did Allah's Apostle say to you?" 'Asim said,
"You never bring me any good. Allah's Apostle disliked to hear
the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah,
I will not leave the matter till I ask him about it." So
'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah's Apostle who was in
the midst of the people and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man
finds with his wife another man, should he kill him, whereupon
you would kill him (in Qisas): or otherwise, what should he do?"
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed something concerning
the question of you and your wife. Go and bring her here." So
they both carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was present
among the people (as a witness). When both of them had finished,
'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my wife
with me, then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his
decision to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered
him to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for all
those who are involved in a case of Lian."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 186:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The wife of Rifa'a Al-Qurazi came to
Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Rifa'a divorced me
irrevocably. After him I married 'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair
Al-Qurazi who proved to be impotent." Allah's Apostle said to
her, "Perhaps you want to return to Rifa'a? Nay (you cannot
return to Rifa'a) until you and 'Abdur-Rahman consummate your
marriage."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 187:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by
expressing his decision to divorce her thrice), then she married
another man who also divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she
could legally marry the first husband (or not). The Prophet
replied, "No, she cannot marry the first husband unless the
second husband consummates his marriage with her, just as the
first husband had done."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 188:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to
remain with him or to be divorced) and we selected Allah and His
Apostle . So, giving us that option was not regarded as divorce.
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 189:
Narrated Musruq:
I asked 'Aisha about the option: She
said, "The Prophet gave us the option. Do you think that option
was considered as a divorce?" I said, "It matters little to me
if I give my wife the option once or a hundred times after she
has chosen me."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 190:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married
another man who proved to be impotent and divorced her. She
could not get her satisfaction from him, and after a while he
divorced her. Then she came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! My first husband divorced me and then I married another
man who entered upon me to consummate his marriage but he proved
to be impotent and did not approach me except once during which
he benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first husband in
this case?" Allah's Apostle said, "It is unlawful to marry your
first husband till the other husband consummates his marriage
with you."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 191:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
that he heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "If a
man makes his wife unlawful for him, it does not mean that she
is divorced." He added, "Indeed in the Apostle of Allah , you
have a good example to follow."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 192:
Narrated 'Ubaid bin 'Umar:
I heard 'Aisha saying, "The Prophet
used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink
honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet
came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell of
Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten
Maghafir?' " So the Prophet visited one of them and she said to
him similarly. The Prophet said, "Never mind, I have taken some
honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall never drink
of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you
ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful for you . . . If
you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,'
(66.1-4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the Prophet disclosed
a matter in confidence to some of his wives.' (66.3) namely his
saying: But I have taken some honey."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 193:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was fond of honey and
sweet edible things and (it was his habit) that after finishing
the 'Asr prayer he would visit his wives and stay with one of
them at that time. Once he went to Hafsa, the daughter of 'Umar
and stayed with her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the
reason for that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given
her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that she made a
syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was
the reason for the delay). I said, "By Allah we will play a
trick on him (to prevent him from doing so)." So I said to Sada
bint Zam'a "The Prophet will approach you, and when he comes
near you, say: 'Have you taken Maghafir (a bad-smelling gum)?'
He will say, 'No.' Then say to him: 'Then what is this bad smell
which i smell from you?' He will say to you, 'Hafsa made me
drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees of that honey had
sucked the juice of the tree of Al-'Urfut.' I shall also say the
same. O you, Safiyya, say the same." Later Sada said, "By Allah,
as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the door, I was about to
say to him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid
of you." So when the Prophet came near Sada, she said to him, "O
Allah's Apostle! Have you taken Maghafir?" He said, "No." She
said. "Then what is this bad smell which I detect on you?" He
said, "Hafsa made me drink honey syrup." She said, "Perhaps its
bees had sucked the juice of Al-'Urfut tree." When he came to
me, I also said the same, and when he went to Safiyya, she also
said the same. And when the Prophet again went to Hafsa, she
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give you more of that drink?"
He said, "I am not in need of it." Sada said, "By Allah, we
deprived him (of it)." I said to her, "Keep quiet." '
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 194:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven
my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as
long as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And

such an unuttered divorce has no effect.:

A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came
to the Prophet while he was in the mosque and said, "I have
committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his
face to the other side. The man turned towards the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and gave four witnesses
against himself. On that the Prophet called him and said, "Are
you insane?" (He added), "Are you married?" The man said, 'Yes."

Musalla (a praying place). When the stones hit him with their
sharp edges and he fled, but he was caught at Al-Harra and then

the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The
Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon
the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned
his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his
face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again
(and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the
man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet
called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The
Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to
death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari

On that Allah's Apostle said (to her), "Will you give back the
garden which your husband has given you (as Mahr)?" She said,

Allah's Blessings." On that, Allah's Apostle said (to her),

wala is for the one who manumits, Once Allah's Apostle entered
the house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only
bread and some soup of the house were placed before, him. He
said, "Don't I see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes,

him."

Narrated Nafi':
Whenever Ibn 'Umar was asked about
marrying a Christian lady or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah has
made it unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe
partners in worship to Allah, and I do not know of a greater
thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship, etc. to
Allah, than that a lady should say that Jesus is her Lord
although he is just one of Allah's slaves."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 210:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The pagans were of two kinds as regards
their relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some of
them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used to
fight against, and they used to fight him; the others were those
with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and neither did the Prophet
fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the first
group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand would
not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then
became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her
to get married, and if her husband emigrated too before she got
married, then she would be returned to him. If any slave or
female slave emigrated from them to the Muslims, then they would
be considered free persons (not slaves) and they would have the
same rights as given to other emigrants. The narrator then
mentioned about the pagans involved with the Muslims in a
treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid's narration. If a male
slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made a
treaty with the Muslims, they would not be returned, but their
prices would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Qariba, the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab. 'Umar divorced her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan
married her. Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan
was the wife of 'Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He divorced her and
then 'Abdullah bin 'Uthman Al-Thaqafi married her.

63, Number 211:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When
believing women came to the Prophet as emigrants, he used to
test them in accordance with the order of Allah. 'O you who
believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine
them . . .' (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women
accepted the above mentioned conditions, she accepted the
conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and
confessed that with their tongues, Allah's Apostle would say to
them, "Go, I have accepted your oath of allegiance (for Islam).
By Allah, and hand of Allah's Apostle never touched the hand of
any woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance
orally. By Allah, Allah's Apostle did not take the pledge of
allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had
ordered him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he
would say to them, "I have accepted your oath of allegiance."

'Umar added, "When the period of four months has expired, the
husband should be put in prison so that he should divorce his
wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the husband himself
declares it. This has been mentioned by 'Uthman, 'Ali, Abu
Ad-Darda, 'Aisha and twelve other companions of the Prophet ."

angry and his face became red and he said (to the questioner),
"You have nothing to do with it; it has its feet and its water
container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating trees
till its owner meets it." And then the Prophet was asked about a
Luqata (money found by somebody). He said, "Remember and
recognize its tying material and its container, and make public
announcement about it for one year. If somebody comes and
identifies it (then give it to him), otherwise add it to your
property."

Prophet while she was in her last breaths, and she was unable to

mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She moved her head,
indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned another person other
than the murderer, and she again moved her head indicating
denial. Then he asked, "Was it so-and-so?", mentioning the name
of her killer. She nodded, agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle;
ordered that the head of that Jew be crushed between two stones.

again said, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." The man
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is evening, for
it is still daytime. " The Prophet again said, "Get down and
prepare a drink of Sawiq." So the third time the man got down

Allah's Apostle said, The example of a
miser and a generous person is like that of two persons wearing
iron cloaks from the breast upto the neck When the generous
person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and spread over his skin
so much so that it covers his fingertips and obliterates his
tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks of spending every
ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place (against his body)
and he tries to expand it, but it does not expand. The Prophet
pointed with his hand towards his throat.

them are Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and after them are Banu

Volume 7, Book
63, Number 228:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Ad
Al-Ansari and said to him, "O 'Asim! Suppose a man saw another
man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill
him; or what should he do? Please, O 'Asim, ask about this on my
behalf." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle about it. Allah's Apostle,
disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What 'Asim
heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on him. When 'Asim returned
to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O 'Asim! What did
Allah's Apostle. say to you?" 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never
bring me any good. Allah's Apostle disliked the problem which I
asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up
this matter until I ask the Prophet about it." So 'Uwaimir
proceeded till he came to Allah's Apostle in the midst of
people, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man sees another man
with his wife, would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him,
or what should he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed
some decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring
her." So they carried out the process of Lian while I was
present among the people with Allah's Apostle. When they had
finished their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I
should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie."
So he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him.
(Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who
were involved in a case of Lian.)
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 229:
Narrated Ibn Juraij:
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the
tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin
Sad, the brother of Bani Sa'idi He said, "An Ansari man came to
Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man saw
another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he
do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned
in the Holy Quran about the affair of those involved in a case
of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah has given His verdict
regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out Lian in the
mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the
man said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep her with me
as a wife then I have told a lie about her. Then he divorced her
thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him, when they had
finished the Lian process. So he divorced her in front of the
Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became a
tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be
separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on
her son was called by his mother's name. The tradition
concerning their inheritance was that she would be his heir and
he would inherit of her property the share Allah had prescribed
for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Sad As'Saidi said that
the Prophet said (in the above narration), "If that lady
delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has
spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she delivers a
child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken
the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike
(as it proved her guilty).
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 230:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
Ibn 'Abbas; said, "Once Lian was
mentioned before the Prophet whereupon 'Asim bin Adi said
something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to him,
complaining that he had found a man width his wife. 'Asim said,
'I have not been put to task except for my statement (about
Lian).' 'Asim took the man to the Prophet and the man told him
of the state in which he had found his wife. The man was pale,
thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he claimed he
had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much flesh on his
calves. The Prophet invoked, saying, 'O Allah! Reveal the
truth.' So that lady delivered a child resembling the man whom
her husband had mentioned he had found her with. The Prophet
then made them carry out Lian." Then a man from that gathering
asked Ibn 'Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding which the
Prophet had said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without
witness, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas said, "No,
that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse
suspicion by her outright misbehavior. "

divorce) the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan, and said, (to them),
'Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you
repent?' But both of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows
that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But
both of them refused. So he separated them by divorce." (Aiyub,
a sub-narrator said: 'Amr bin Dinar said to me, "There is
something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned. It
goes thus: The man said, 'What about my money (i.e. the Mahr
that I have given to my wife)?' It was said, 'You have no right
to restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth (as
regards the accusation), you have also consummated your marriage
with her; and if you have told a lie, you are less rightful to
have your money back.' ")

63, Number 232:

who were involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are with
Allah. One of you two is a liar, and you (the husband) have no
right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What about my
property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet said, 'You have no right to get
back your property. If you have told the truth about her then
your property was for the consummation of your marriage with
her; and if you told a lie about her, then you are less rightful
to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I
learned the Hadith from 'Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa'id bin
Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn 'Umar, 'If a man (accuses his wife
for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process
of Lian (what will happen)?' Ibn 'Umar set two of his fingers
apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and middle finger apart.)
Ibn 'Umar said, 'The Prophet separated the couple of Bani
Al-Ajlan by divorce and said thrice, "Allah knows that one of
you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "

have said (about Lian)." 'Asim took the man to Allah's Apostle
and he told him of the state in which he found his wife. The man
was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the other man whom he had
found with his wife was brown, fat with thick calves and curly
hair. Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Then
the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband
had mentioned he had found with her. So Allah's Apostle ordered
them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering said to Ibn
'Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom Allah's Apostle

could still retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So
Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah revealed:
'When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term
of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying

while she was with him, she should wait till she became clean
again and only then, if he wanted to divorce her, he could do so
before having sexual relations with her. And that is the period
Allah has fixed for divorcing women. Whenever 'Abdullah (bin
'Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the questioner, "If
you divorced her thrice, she is no longer lawful for you unless
she marries another man (and the other man divorces her in his
turn).' Ibn 'Umar further said, 'Would that you (people) only
give one or two divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me

Narrated Humaid bin Nafi':
Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these
three narrations: Zainab said: I went to Um Habiba, the wife of
the Prophet when her father, Abu- Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um
,Habiba asked for a perfume which contained yellow scent
(Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first perfumed one of the
girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it and said, "By
Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard Allah's
Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than
three days unless he is her husband for whom she should mourn
for four months and ten days.' " Zainab further said: I want to
Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died. She asked for perfume
and used some of it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of
perfume, but I have heard Allah's Apostle saying on the pulpit,
'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the last
day to mourn for more than three days except for her husband for
whom she should mourn for four months and ten days.' " Zainab
further said, "I heard my mother, Um Salama saying that a woman
came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
husband of my daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye
disease, can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle
replied, "No," twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her
question) he said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle added, "It is just
a matter of four months and ten days. In the Pre-Islamic Period
of ignorance a widow among you should throw a globe of dung when
one year has elapsed." I said to Zainab, "What does 'throwing a
globe of dung when one year had elapsed' mean?" Zainab said,
"When a lady was bereaved of her husband, she would live in a
wretched small room and put on the worst clothes she had and
would not touch any scent till one year had elapsed. Then she
would bring an animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and rub
her body against it. The animal against which she would rub her
body would scarcely survive. Only then she would come out of her
room, whereupon she would be given a globe of dung which she
would throw away and then she would use the scent she liked or
the like."
Volume 7, Book
63, Number 252:
Narrated Um Salama:
A woman was bereaved of her husband and
her relatives worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They
came to Allah's Apostle, and asked him to allow them to treat
her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply kohl to
her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a widowed
woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes (or the
worst part of her house) and when a year had elapsed, if a dog
passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot
use kohl) till four months and ten days have elapsed."

"It is not lawful for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and
the Last Day to mourn for more than three days, except for her

days."

garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in Yemen). But it was
permissible for us that when one of us became clean from her

of incense. And it was forbidden for us to follow funeral
processions.

Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you
dies and leaves wives behind,' That was the period of the 'Iddah
which the widow was obliged to spend in the house of the late
husband. Then Allah revealed: And those of you who die and leave
wives should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and
residence without turning them out, but if they leave, there is
no blame on you for what they do of themselves, provided it is
honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has
ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven months and
twenty days with her husband's relatives through her husband's
will and testament so that she will complete the period of one
year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay that extra
period or go out of her husband's house as is indicated by the
statement of Allah: 'But if they leave there is no blame on
you,... ' (2.240) Ibn 'Abbas said: The above Verse has cancelled
the order of spending the period of the 'Iddah at her late
husband's house, and so she could spend her period of the 'Iddah
wherever she likes. And Allah says: 'Without turning them out.'
'Ata said: If she would, she could spend her period of the
'Iddah at her husband's house, and live there according to her
(husband's) will and testament, and if she would, she could go
out (of her husband's house) as Allah says: 'There is no blame
on you for what they do of themselves.' (2.240) 'Ata added: Then
the Verses of inheritance were revealed and the order of
residence (for the widow) was cancelled, and she could spend her
period of the 'Iddah wherever she would like, and she was no
longer entitled to be accommodated by her husband's family.

said, "You are not entitled to take
back any money. If you have told the truth, the Mahr that you
paid, was for having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if
you are a liar, then you are less entitled to get it back."
