[Machine] "That Umar may Allah be pleased with him, chose the missing woman over the dowry. I have seen that he deserves it when he said: Ash-Shafi'i said, 'Regarding the missing woman, she is a woman who has been tested, so she should be patient and not marry until certainty of her husband's death comes to her.' Ali bin Abi Talib may Allah be pleased with him also said the same. And with this statement, the Sheikh said: Qatadah narrated from Khalas bin Amr and from Abu al-Malih from Ali, that when the first (husband) comes, he is given a choice between the last dowry and his wife. And the narration of Khalas from Ali is weak, and Abu al-Malih did not hear it from Ali."
