Subayah bint Harith reported,

Aslamiyya, asking her about her account and about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said to her when she sought his ruling. So Umar bin Abdullah wrote to Abdullah bin Utba informing him that Subaia had told him that she had been married to Saad bin Khawla, who was from the tribe of Banu Amir bin Luayy and was among those who took part in Badr. He died during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant, and she gave birth not long after his death.When she had recovered from her postnatal bleeding, she adorned herself for suitors. Abu Sanabil bin Bakak, a man from Banu Abd al-Dar, came in to her and said, "Why do I see you adorned? Perhaps you are hoping to marry. By Allah, you cannot marry until four months and ten days have passed."Subaia said, "When he said that to me, I gathered my clothes about me at evening and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about that. He gave me the ruling that I had become lawful to marry once I gave birth, and he instructed me to marry if I wished."Ibn Shihab said, "I see no objection to her marrying once she has given birth, even if she is still bleeding, except that her husband must not approach her until she becomes pure."

سبيعة بنت الحارث

الأسلمية فيسألها عن حديثها وعما قال لها رسول الله ﷺ حين استفتته فكتب عمر بن عبد الله إلى عبد الله بن عتبة يخبره أن سبيعة أخبرته أنها كانت تحت سعد بن خولة وهو من بني عامر بن لؤي وهو 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 ترتجين النكاح إنك والله ما أنت بناكح حتى تمر عليك أربعة أشهر وعشر قالت سبيعة فلما قال لي ذلك جمعت علي ثيابي حين أمسيت فأتيت رسول الله ﷺ فسألته عن ذلك فأفتاني بأني قد حللت حين وضعت حملي وأمرني بالتزويج إن بدا لي قال ابن شهاب ولا أرى بأسا أن تتزوج حين وضعت وإن كانت في دمها غير أنه لا يقربها زوجها حتى تطهر
