Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35338"

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about a man who had a slave-girl as a wife; and then he bought her; and divorced her once. He said; She is halal for him by the possession of the right hand as long as he does not make his divorce irrevocable. If he irrevocably divorces her; she is not halal for him by the possession of the right hand until she has married another husband. Malik said that if a man rnarried a female slave and then she had a child by him; and then he bought her; she was not an umm walad for him because of the child born to him while she belonged to another; until she had had a child by him while she was in his possession after he had purchased her. Malik said; If he buys her and she is pregnant by him and she then gives birth while she belongs to him; she is his umm walad by that pregnancy; according to what we think; and Allah knows best.
