Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utba (b. Masud) reported that his father wrote to Umar bin Abdullah b al Arqam al-Zuhri that he would go to Subaiah bint al-Hirith al-Aslamiyya (Allah be pleased with her) and ask her about a verdict from him which Allahs Messenger ﷺ gave her when she had asked that from him (in regard to the termination of Idda at the birth of a child) Umar binAbdullah wrote to Abdullah bin Utba informing him that Subaiah had told him that she had been married to Sad bin Khaula and he belonged to the tribe of Amir bin Luayy, and was one of those who participated in the Battle of Badr, and he died in the Farewell Pilgrimage and she had been in the family way at that time. And much time had not elapsed that she gave birth to a child after his death and when she was free from the effects of childbirth she embellished herself for those who had to give proposals of marriage. Abdul Sunabil bin Bakak (from Banu Abdul Dar) came to her and said: What is this that I see you embellished; perhaps you are inclined to marry, By Allah, you cannot marry unless four months and ten days (of Idda are passed). When he said that, I dressed myself, and as it was evening I came to Allahs Messenger ﷺ and asked him about it, and he gave me a religious verdict that I was allowed to marry when I had given birth to a child and asked me to marry if I so liked. Ibn Shihab said: I do not find any harm fur her in marrying when she has given birth to a child even when she is bleeding (after the birth of the child) except that her husband should not go near her until she is purified.
