English translation

3558. It was narrated from Al-Fāri'ah bint Mālik that her husband went out to pursue some slaves and they killed him. Shu'bah and Ibn Juraij said: "She was in a remote house. She came with her brothers to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him (about the situation) and he granted her a concession. When she was leaving he called her back and said: 'Stay in your house until the term prescribed is fulfilled.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3528 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ الْفَارِعَةِ بِنْتِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلَاجٍ فَقَتَلُوهُ، - قَالَ شُعْبَةُ، وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ - وَكَانَتْ فِي دَارٍ قَاصِيَةٍ، فَجَاءَتْ وَمَعَهَا أَخُوهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ فَرَخَّصَ لَهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا رَجَعَتْ دَعَاهَا فَقَالَ: «اجْلِسِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ»

Commentary

1. From this we learn that during the waiting term caused by death, it is essential for the widow to remain in the house of her deceased husband. This is exactly the view adopted by the majority of the people of knowledge. But it is transmitted from 'Ali, Ibn 'Abbās, 'Aishah and Jābir that she could spend her waiting term anywhere she likes. But this Hadīth corroborates spending the waiting term in the husband's house. And Allāh knows best! 2. 'Remote house': Remote from habitation or from the kith and kin of the woman.
