Yahya ibn Sa'id was informed that Sa'ib ibn Khabbab had passed away, so his wife came to Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) and informed him of her husband's death, and said that she had some farmland. She asked if he would permit her to stay there at night. He forbade her from doing so, so she would leave Medina in the morning, spend the whole day at her farmland, work there all day, and then return to Medina in the evening and spend the night in her house.

It is narrated from Hisham bin Urwah, his father Urwah used to say that if someone among the people who live in the wilderness loses her husband (he dies), then she should stay with her people; wherever they settle, she should also settle there (due to necessity).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that a woman whose husband dies, or divorces her, should stay in her house at night (during the waiting period).

Qasim bin Muhammad used to say that Yazid bin Abdul Malik created a separation between men and those women who were umm walad, and whose masters had died, and who had married after one or two menstrual cycles. And he ordered them to observe an 'iddah of four months and ten days. Then Qasim bin Muhammad said: Subhan Allah, Allah Almighty says in His Book: "Those among you who die and leave behind wives, they should observe an 'iddah of four months and ten days." And umm walad are not included among wives.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When the master of an umm walad dies, she should observe the waiting period (‘iddah) for one menstrual cycle.

It is narrated from Qasim bin Muhammad that he used to say: When the master of an umm walad slave-woman dies, her waiting period (‘iddah) is one menstrual cycle.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: According to us, this is the ruling.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If this umm walad does not menstruate, then she should observe 'iddah for three months.

Saeed bin Musayyib and Sulaiman bin Yasar used to say that when the husband of a slave-girl dies, her waiting period (‘iddah) is two months and five days.

Ibn Shihab has also said the same.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a slave divorces his slave woman with a revocable divorce, then dies while his wife is in her waiting period, she should observe a waiting period of two months and five days. If that slave woman is set free and does not wish to separate from her husband until her husband dies during her waiting period, then that slave woman should observe a waiting period of four months and ten days like a free woman, because after the death, the obligation of waiting period became binding on her as a free woman, so she should do as a free woman does. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This is the ruling according to us.

It is narrated from Ibn Muhairiz that I went to the mosque and saw Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting there. I asked: Is coitus interruptus (azl) permissible? He said: We went with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to the battle of Banu Mustaliq, where women were captured from the disbelievers. We felt desire and deprivation was difficult for us, and we also wished to sell those women and obtain money. Therefore, we intended to practice azl. Then we thought that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present. How could we practice azl without asking him? So we asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "There is no harm in practicing azl, because any soul that Allah has decreed to create will surely be created until the Day of Resurrection."
