(Book 29, Hadith 42) #36258
Divorce and Inheritance in Islam

SUMMARY: Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf divorced his wife after she was purified and Uthman ibn Affan made her one of the heirs after the end of her idda.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman say, ''I heard that the wife of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf asked him to divorce her. He said, 'When you have menstruated and are pure, then come to me'. She did not menstruate until Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf was ill. When she was purified, she told him and he divorced her irrevocably or made a pronouncement of divorce which was all that he had left over her Abd arRahman ibn Awf was terminally ill at the time, so Uthman ibn Affan made her one of the heirs after the end of her idda".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَقُولُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ امْرَأَةَ، عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَأَلَتْهُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا حِضْتِ ثُمَّ طَهُرْتِ فَآذِنِينِي فَلَمْ تَحِضْ حَتَّى مَرِضَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ آذَنَتْهُ فَطَلَّقَهَا الْبَتَّةَ أَوْ تَطْلِيقَةً لَمْ يَكُنْ بَقِيَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الطَّلاَقِ غَيْرُهَا وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَرِيضٌ فَوَرَّثَهَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ عِدَّتِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about divorce and inheritance in Islam. It tells us that when a husband divorces his wife, she must wait until she is purified before the divorce can be finalized. In this case, Abd ar-Rahman Ibn Awf was terminally ill so Uthman Ibn Affan made her one of the heirs after the end of her waiting period or ‘idda’. This shows us that even if a husband is unable to provide for his wife due to illness or death, he still has an obligation to ensure that she is taken care of financially by making sure that she receives an inheritance from him. Furthermore, it teaches us about how important it is for Muslims to fulfill their obligations towards each other even in difficult circumstances such as illness or death.
