when her husband dies is two months and five days."

Yahya related to me the like of that from Malik from Ibn Shihab.
Malik said, about a slave who divorced a slave-girl but did
not make it absolute, "He can return to her. If he then dies while she
is still in the idda from her divorce, she does the idda of a slave-
girl whose husband dies, and it is two months and five days. If she
has been set free and he can return to her, and she does not choose to
separate after she has been set free, and he dies while she is in the
idda from the divorce, she does the idda of a free woman whose husband
has died, four months and ten days. That is because the idda of
widowhood befell her while she was free, so her idda is the idda of a
free woman."
Malik said, "That is what is done among us." Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 105
