[Machine] After the death of her husband, Subay'a bint al-Harith waited for either twenty-three or twenty-seven nights. When she finished her postpartum period, she desired to remarry. However, it was denied to her. This matter was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, "If she does so, her waiting period will be considered over."
وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَو سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا تَعَالَتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا تَشَوَّقَتْ لِلنِّكَاحِ فَأُنْكِرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ حَلَّ أَجَلُهَا»
