2308. It was reported from 'Amr bin Al-'Ās, that he said: "Don't try to confuse us about Sunnah" — Ibn Al-Muthanna (one of the narrators) said: "The Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ" — The waiting period — meaning for an Umm Al-Walad — is four months and ten days." (Ḍā'if)
2308 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ ح، وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: «لَا تُلَبِّسُوا عَلَيْنَا سُنَّةً»، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: «سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِدَّةُ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ يَعْنِي أُمَّ الْوَلَدِ»

1. A slave woman who is the mother of her owner's child is called an Umm Walad (mother of a child). 2. There is a difference of opinion among scholars as to the Iddah period of the Umm Walad whose master has died. Some say that the Iddah period for her is three menses, and others say it is one menstrual cycle. But according to those scholars who maintain that this narration is authentic, her Iddah period is four months and ten days. Allāh knows best.
