Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Muhammad Bin Hakeem, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan^asws, said, ‘I said to him^asws, ‘A young woman the likes of whom menstruate, her husband divorces her, and her menstruations are lifted. How much is her waiting period?’ He^asws said: ‘Three months’. I said, ‘So if she claims to be pregnant after three months?’ He^asws said: ‘Her waiting period is nine months’. I said, ‘So if she claims to be pregnant after nine months?’ He^asws said: ‘But rather, the pregnancy is of nine months’. I said, ‘She can marry?’ He^asws said: ‘She should be precautionary for three months’. I said, ‘So if she claimed after three months?’ He^asws said: ‘There is no doubt upon her. She can marry if she so desires to’.
