The questioner:
If a slave woman is granted her freedom during the waiting period following her husband’s death.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
If a slave woman is freed during the waiting period following her husband’s death, does she complete the waiting period of a free woman or that of a slave woman?

The Shaykh:
If a slave woman is freed during the waiting period following her husband’s death, the ruling depends on her status on the day her husband dies. If she is a slave woman on the day her husband dies, she observes the waiting period of a slave woman. If she is a free woman on the day her husband dies, she observes the waiting period of a free woman. Yes.
