Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘The waiting period of the woman widowed from her husband is the longer of the two terms (divorced and widow), because upon her is that she would mourn for four months and ten (days), and it is not upon her with the divorce that she should mourn’.
[17] The woman widowed from her husband who has been slept with, where should she wait from and what is Obligated upon her الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا وَ أُمِّهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهَا إِنْ شَاءَتْ فَتَعْتَدُّ فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا اعْتَدَّتْ وَ إِنْ شَاءَتِ اعْتَدَّتْ فِي أَهْلِهَا وَ لَا تَكْتَحِلُ وَ لَا تَلْبَسُ حُلِيّاً .
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, or someone else from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the woman widowed from her husband, should she go out to the house of her father and her mother from her house if she so desires to, so she observes the waiting period?’ So, he -asws said: ‘If she so desires to she observes the waiting period in the house of her husband, and if she so desires to she observes the waiting period among her family, and she should not apply Kohl nor wear jewellery’.
