Masruq reports: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who married a woman but did not consummate the marriage with her, nor did he fix a dowry for her. Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Such a woman is entitled to the full dowry, she must observe the waiting period ('iddah), and she is entitled to a share in inheritance. Upon this, Sayyiduna Ma'qil ibn Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bear witness regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he gave the same verdict concerning Barwa' bint Washiq.

This same narration is also transmitted with another chain of narration from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him).
