Home Hadith Hadith 35028
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "If someone marries a woman and cannot have intercourse
with her, there is a deadline of a year set for him to have
intercourse with her. If he does not, they are separated."
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 82
← Previous Hadith
"As for his wives, it is divorce as he said, and as for his
statement, 'Every woman I marry is divorced', if he did not name a
specific woman, tribe, or land, or such, it is not binding on him and
he can marry as he wishes. As for his property, he gives a third of it
away as sadaqa."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
whether the deadline was set from the day he had married her, or from
the day she raised the question before the Sultan. He said. 'It is
from the day she presents it before the Sultan.'
