باب الاستبراء - الفصل الأول

Mishkat al-Masabih 3341
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا وُهِبَتْ الْوَلِيدَةُ الَّتِي تُوطَأُ أَوْ بِيعَتْ أَوْ أُعْتِقَتْ فَلْتَسْتَبْرِئْ رَحِمَهَا بِحَيْضَةٍ وَلَا تُسْتَبْرَئُ الْعَذْرَاءُ. رَوَاهُمَا رزين
Ibn ‘Umar said that when a girl with whom intercourse might be had was given as a present, or sold, or set free, it was necessary to wait till she had had a menstrual period, but that this was unnecessary in the case of a virgin. Razin transmitted.
