Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard from some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), they narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a slave woman is set free, while she was previously the wife of a slave, then she is given the choice. If she remains in his house, until he has intercourse with her, then she will remain his wife and cannot be separated from him.
