Translation

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, and Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Muhammd Bin Hakeem, (It has been narrated) from Al-Abd Al-Salih^asws (7th Imam^asws), said, ‘I said to him^asws, ‘The young woman, the likes of whom menstruate, her husband divorces her, so her menstruations are lifted. What is her waiting period?’ He^asws said: ‘Three months’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! Supposing she were to get married after three months, so it is manifested by her after having entered upon her husband, that she is pregnant?’ He^asws said: ‘Far be it from that, O Ibn Hakeem! The lifting of the menstruations is of two types – either a spoiling of a menstruation, so the husbands are Permissible for her and she is not pregnant, or if she is pregnant it would have become apparent during three months, because Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic has Made a time during which the pregnancy becomes apparent’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Suppose she is of irregular menstruations?’ He^asws said: ‘Her waiting period is of nine months’. I said, ‘So if she became irregular after nine months?’ He^asws said:’ But rather, the pregnancy is of nine months’. I said, ‘So if she were to marry?’ He^asws said: ‘She should be precautionary for three monts’. I said, ‘So if she is irregular after three months?’ He^asws said: ‘There is no doubt upon her. She can get married’.
