It was asked from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) about a man who married a woman but did not fix her dowry, nor did he have intercourse with her, and then he passed away. Regarding this, he said: She will receive the dowry similar to that of other women, she will have to observe the waiting period (‘iddah), and she will also receive a share in inheritance. Sayyiduna Ma’qil Ashja’i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also gave the same verdict regarding a woman named Barwa’ bint Washiq bin Nuwras as you have said. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) became happy upon hearing this. Muhammad and Sufyan said: This is also our opinion.
