Chapter: Prohibition Of Kohl For A Woman In Mourning
Hadith 3571
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَأُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ : أَتَكْتَحِلُ فِي عِدَّتِهَا مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ : أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَقَامَتْ سَنَةً ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَتْ خَلْفَهَا بِبَعْرَةٍ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ ، وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْأَجَلُ " .
´It was narrated from Zainab that a woman asked Umm Salamah and Umm Habibah whether she could put on kohl during her 'Iddah following her husband's death. She said:` "A woman came to the Prophet and asked him about that, and he said: 'During the Jahiliyyah, if her husband died, one of you would stay (in mourning) for a year, then she would throw a piece of dung then come out. Rather it (the mourning period) is four months and ten days, until the term prescribed is fulfilled.'"
