4606 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ مُتْعَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا اَلْعِدَّةُ قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً فَإِذَا اِنْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُهَا وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ فَحَيْضَةٌ وَ نِصْفٌ مِثْلَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَتُحِدُّ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ إِذَا مَكَثَتْ عِنْدَهُ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ سَاعَةً مِنَ اَلنَّهَارِ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتِ اَلْعِدَّةُ وَ لاَ تُحِدُّ".
Hadith.4606 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah 
about a woman who entered into a Mut'ah (temporary marriage) and then her husband passed away.
Imam said: "She must observe an 'Iddah (waiting period) of four months and ten days."
Then Imam continued: "If her term ends while he is still alive, her waiting period is one and a half menstrual cycles, similar to what is required for a female slave."
I asked: "Does she need to observe mourning (Hadd)?"
Imam replied: "Yes, but if she stayed with him for a day, two days, or even just an hour during the day, the waiting period becomes obligatory, but mourning (Hadd) is not required."
