Muwatta Malik 1202

Authentic graded by Salim al-Hilali Muwatta Malik 1202

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ وَلاَ عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَهَا الْمَهْرُ كُلُّهُ وَالْمِيرَاثُ الْبِكْرُ وَالثَّيِّبُ فِي هَذَا عِنْدَنَا سَوَاءٌ ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard Ibn Shihab say, "When a man who is terminally ill divorces his wife three times, she inherits from him."

Malik said, "If he divorces her while he is terminally ill before he has consummated the marriage, she has half of the bride-price and inherits, and she does not have to do an idda. If he consummated the marriage, she has all the dowry and inherits. The virgin and the previously married woman are the same in this situation according to us."

Reported by Malik (No. 1202).

( ش ) : قَوْلُهُ فِي غَيْرِ الْمَدْخُولِ بِهَا يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا , وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ : إِنَّ لَهَا نِصْفَ الصَّدَاقِ وَبِهِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَعَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةُ الْفُقَهَاءِ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَالنَّخَعِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُمْ وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ : لَهَا الصَّدَاقُ كَامِلًا , وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُهُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ مُطَلَّقَةٌ قَبْلَ الْبِنَاءِ بِهَا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا الصَّدَاقُ كَامِلًا كَمَا لَوْ طَلَّقَ فِي الصِّحَّةِ. ( فَصْلٌ ) وَقَوْلُهُ : لَهَا فِي الْمِيرَاثِ رُوِيَ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ لَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَالْمِيرَاثِ خِلَافًا لِلزُّهْرِيِّ وَعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ , وَوَجْهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ مُطَلِّقٌ فِي الْمَرَضِ لَوْ لَمْ ي…
