سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا زَوْجٌ أَ يَسْتَبْرِئُ رَحِمَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَمْ تَحِضْ فَقَالَ أَمْرُهَا شَدِيدٌ فَإِنْ هُوَ أَتَاهَا فَلَا يُنْزِلِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ أَ حُبْلَى هِيَ أَمْ لَا قُلْتُ وَ فِي كَمْ تَسْتَبِينُ لَهُ قَالَ فِي خَمْسَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought a slave girl and there did not happen to be a husband for her. Does he have to clear her womb (make her observe the waiting period)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Supposing she does not menstruate?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Her matter is difficult. So if he goes to her, so he should not make the water descend (discharge the seed) until it becomes clear whether she is pregnant or not?’ I said, ‘And in how much (time) would it become clear for him?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘In forty five days’.
