that according to him, seclusion in a valid marriage does not necessitate the waiting period, so in a corrupt one, it is even more applicable. This is the requirement of Ibn Hamid's statement.

Section: Regarding the waiting period of a woman who is partially emancipated. Whenever she is in a waiting period due to pregnancy or menstrual cycles, her waiting period is like that of a free woman, because the waiting period of a pregnant woman does not differ between slavery and freedom. The waiting period of a slave woman by menstrual cycles is two cycles, so the slightest bit of freedom in her necessitates a third cycle, because it cannot be divided. If she is in a waiting period by months, whether for death, menopause, or childhood, her waiting period is calculated from that of a free woman and a slave woman. So, if half of her is free and she is observing a waiting period for death, she must observe three months and eight nights, because the night is counted with the day, meaning she is liable for three-quarters of that. If she is observing a waiting period by months due to divorce, and we say that the waiting period of a slave woman is a month and a half, then the waiting period of the partially emancipated woman is half of that: two months and a quarter. If we say the waiting period of a slave woman is two or three months, then the waiting period of the partially emancipated woman is the same as that of a free woman. The umm al-walad (mother of a child by her master), the mudabbarah (one promised freedom after her master's death), and the mukatabah (one in a contract of manumission) all have waiting periods exactly like that of a slave woman, because they are slave women.

1357 - Issue: He said: "And the umm al-walad, when her master dies, shall not remarry until she has one full menstrual cycle." This is the well-known position from Ahmad. It is the statement of Ibn Umar. It was also narrated from Uthman, Aisha, al-Hasan, al-Sha'bi, al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, Abu Qilabah, Makhul, Malik, al-Shafi'i, Abu Ubayd, and Abu Thawr. It is also narrated from Ahmad that she must observe the waiting period of mourning of four months and ten [days]. This is the position of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, Abu Iyad, Ibn Sirin, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, Mujahid, Khilas ibn Amr, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, al-Zuhri, Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik, al-Awza'i, and Ishaq, based on what was narrated from Amr ibn al-Aas, who said: "Do not corrupt for us the sunnah of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace); the waiting period of an umm al-walad when her master dies is four months and ten [days]."
