Chapter on the Divorce by a Slave
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 20
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي أَمَةٍ طُلِّقَتْ ثُمَّ أُعْتِقَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا فَقَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ بِثَلاَثِ حِيَضٍ فَإِنْ مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا ثُمَّ أُعْتِقَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا فَإِنَّ عِدَّتَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشَرَةُ أَيَّامٍ".
Ibn Abi ʿUmayr narrated from Jamil, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a bondwoman who was divorced and then freed before her waiting period (ʿiddah) had ended. Imam عليه السلام said: "She must complete the waiting period of three menstrual cycles. However, if her husband died and she was then freed before her waiting period ended, her ʿiddah would be four months and ten days."
