Subay‘ah al-Aslamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that she was married to Sa‘d ibn Khawlah, who belonged to the tribe of ‘Āmir ibn Lu’ay. He was one of the Companions who participated in the battle of Badr. He died during the Farewell Hajj while Subay‘ah was pregnant. Shortly after his death, she delivered her child. When her post-natal bleeding stopped, she beautified herself for prospective suitors.

Abu As-Sanābil ibn Ba‘kak (a man from the tribe of Banu ‘Abd Ad-Dār) entered upon her and said: "Why are you thus adorned? Perhaps you wish to remarry? By Allah, you cannot remarry unless four months and ten days (of ‘Iddah) have passed." Subay‘ah said: "When he said that, I put on my clothes in the evening and I went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

I asked him about that, and he gave me a Fatwa that remarrying had became lawful to me when I delivered my child, and he ordered me to marry if I so wished." Ibn Shihāb said: "I do not find anything wrong with her marrying right after she gives birth, even if she is still bleeding (post-partum) except that her new husband should not approach her until she attains purity (when the bleeding stops).

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن سبيعة الأسلمية رضي الله عنها أنها كانت تحت سعد بن خولة -وهو من بني عامر بن لؤي، وكان ممن شهد بدرا- فتوفي عنها في حجة الوداع، وهي حامل. فلم تنشب أن وضعت حملها بعد وفاته. فلما تعلت من نفاسها؛ تجملت للخطاب، فدخل عليها أبو السنابل بن بعكك -رجل من بني عبد الدار- فقال لها: ما لي أراك متجملة؟ لعلك ترجين النكاح؟ والله ما أنت بناكح حتى يمر عليك أربعة أشهر وعشر. قالت سبيعة: فلما قال لي ذلك: جمعت علي ثيابي حين أمسيت، فأتيت رسول صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألته عن ذلك؟ فأفتاني بأني قد حللت حين وضعت حملي، وأمرني بالتزويج إن بدا لي». وقال ابن شهاب: ولا أرى بأسا أن تتزوج حين وضعت -وإن كانت في دمها-، غير أنه لايقربها زوجها حتى تطهر.
