وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ إِذَا خَيَّرَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَاخْتَارَتْهُ فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِطَلاَقٍ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمُخَيَّرَةِ إِذَا خَيَّرَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَقَدْ طَلُقَتْ ثَلاَثًا وَإِنْ قَالَ زَوْجُهَا لَمْ أُخَيِّرْكِ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةً فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ . وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنْ خَيَّرَهَا فَقَالَتْ قَدْ قَبِلْتُ وَاحِدَةً وَقَالَ لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا وَإِنَّمَا خَيَّرْتُكِ فِي الثَّلاَثِ جَمِيعًا أَنَّهَا إِنْ لَمْ تَقْبَلْ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةً أَقَامَتْ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى نِكَاحِهَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ فِرَاقًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى .
Yahya related to me that Malik heard Ibn Shihab say, "When a mangives his wife the right of choice, and she chooses him, that is notdivorce." Malik added, "That is the best of what I haveheard." Malik said that if a woman who had been given theright of choice by her husband chose herself, she was divorced trebly.If her husband said, "But I only gave her the right of choice in one,"he had none of that. That was the best of what he had heard. Malik said, "If the man gives his wife the right of choice and shesays, 'I accept one', and he says, 'I did not mean that, I have giventhe right of choice in all three together,' then if she only acceptsone, she remains with him in her marriage, and that is not separationif Allah, the Exalted wills."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from a mawla of Safiyyabint Abi Ubayd that she gave all that she possessed to her husband ascompensation for her divorce from him, and Abdullah ibn Umar did notdisapprove of that. Malik said that divorce was ratified fora woman who ransomed herself from her husband, when it was known thather husband was detrimental to her and was oppressive for her, and itwas known that he wronged her, and he had to return her property toher. Malik added, "This is what I have heard, and it is what is doneamong us." Malik said, "There is no harm if a woman ransomsherself from her husband for more than he gave her."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، وَابْنَ، شِهَابٍ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ عِدَّةُ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ مِثْلُ عِدَّةِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلاَثَةُ قُرُوءٍ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمُفْتَدِيَةِ إِنَّهَا لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا إِلاَّ بِنِكَاحٍ جَدِيدٍ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَكَحَهَا فَفَارَقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ مِنَ الطَّلاَقِ الآخَرِ وَتَبْنِي عَلَى عِدَّتِهَا الأُولَى . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ إِذَا افْتَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا بِشَىْءٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَطَلَّقَهَا طَلاَقًا مُتَتَابِعًا نَسَقًا فَذَلِكَ ثَابِتٌ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ صُمَاتٌ فَمَا أَتْبَعَهُ بَعْدَ الصُّمَاتِ فَلَيْسَ بِشَىْءٍ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he hadheard that Said ibn al-Musayyab and Sulayman ibn Yasar and Ibn Shihaball said that a woman who divorced for a compensation had the sameidda as a divorced woman - three periods. Malik said that awoman who ransomed herself could not return to her husband except by anew marriage. If someone married her and then separated from herbefore he had intercourse with her, there was no idda against her fromthe recent marriage, and she rested on her first idda. Maliksaid, "That is the best that I have heard on the matter." Malik said, "If, when a woman offers to compensate her husband, hedivorces her straightaway, then that compensation is confirmed forhim. If he makes no response, and then at a later date, does divorceher, he is not entitled to that compensation." Translation Not Available
