Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabah Al Kinany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I asked him^asws about a man whose wife was divorced from him by a mutual agreement, is it Permissible for him that he proposes to her sister before the expiration of her waiting period?’ So he^asws said: ‘When she has freed herself and there is no reversion for him, so it is Permissible for him that he proposes to her sister’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he was asked about a man with whom were two sisters, both owned slaves. So he slept with one of the two, then he slept with the other. He^asws said: ‘When he slept with the other, so it has Prohibited unto him the first one until the other one dies’. I said, ‘What is your^asws view if he were to sell her?’ So he^asws said: ‘If it was such that he has to sell her due to a need and not having any thoughts upon his sleeping with the other one, so I^asws do not see any problem with that; and if it was such that rather he sells her in order to revert to the first one, so no’.
