Hazrat Khalid bin Wardaan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that if two people have a disagreement in a matter and each one claims his statement to be true, then what is the ruling? While one of them is married to my maternal aunt. He replied that their piety will be taken into consideration.

Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that if a man says to his wife, "If I come near you within a year, you are divorced," then if he comes near her before four months are completed, she will receive three divorces. And if he leaves her until four months have passed, the woman will become separated (bainah) with one divorce, and if the man wishes, he may marry her again, but he should not come near her before the year is completed.

Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) says that if he comes to her before the completion of four months, then she will receive three divorces, and if he leaves her until four months have passed, then she will become separated (bainah) with one divorce. And if he wishes, he can marry her, and before the completion of a year, he can have intercourse with her.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if he approaches her before the completion of four months, then three divorces will take place. And if he leaves her for four months, then she will become separated (bainah) with one divorce, and he cannot marry her again until less than the days of ila, that is, two or three months, have passed. Then he may marry her, but he should not approach her for a year. This was also the opinion of Hazrat Saeed (may Allah have mercy on him).

20428 - And that was the opinion of (Sa'id) (1).

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that a woman may not observe mourning for more than three days for anyone except her husband.

Hazrat Umm Salamah and Hazrat Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with them) narrate that once a woman came to the service of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said that her daughter's husband had passed away. Her daughter had pain in her eye and wanted to apply kohl. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Among you, when a year was completed, she would throw a camel's dung; now the waiting period is four months and ten days. Hazrat Humaid (may Allah be pleased with him), the narrator, says that I asked Hazrat Zainab bint Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) what is meant by throwing a camel's dung? She replied that in the age of ignorance, after a woman's husband died, she would sit in the worst room, staying there for a year. When the year was completed, she would come out and throw a camel's dung behind her.

20431 - Humayd said: So I asked Zaynab: What is meant by her throwing the dung pellet? She said: There was a woman in the Jahiliyyah who would go to the (worst house) (1) she had and sit in it for a year, and when the year passed, she would come out and throw a dung pellet behind her (2).

It is narrated from Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for anyone other than her husband for more than three days.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible to mourn for any deceased person for more than three days. However, a woman will mourn for her husband for four months and ten days. She will not wear dyed clothes; she may only wear clothes made of rough cloth. She will not apply kohl or use perfume, except that when she becomes pure (after menstruation), she may use a little bit of incense or aloeswood.
