Does a man’s concubine have the rulings of a wife?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you: If a man’s concubine dies, does she wash him in place of the wife?
The Shaykh : This is what the jurists said, and there is consideration in this matter. However, we mentioned it incidentally in the lesson. Otherwise, it is well known that if the master dies, his ownership transfers to whom?
To the heirs, and she has no connection to him, unlike the wife. The wife remains subject to the rulings of marriage, such as the waiting period and mourning, and it is not permissible for anyone to propose to her, and so on.
