Wuhsha the broker was thrown out of synagogue on Yom Kippur for her son by a lover, and her will gave the lover "not one penny"

Karima bint Ammar, known as Wuhsha the broker, was born in Alexandria, the daughter of a banker, and worked in Fustat lending money and trading. She married Arye ben Judah of Sicily, had a daughter and divorced. She did not remarry. She had an affair with Hassun of Ashkelon and became pregnant. A court testimony records her telling a cantor that she and Hassun had made a marriage before a Muslim notary, and that she feared he would deny the child. On the cantor's advice she had two men walk in on them, so the relationship would be on record. On Yom Kippur she went to the synagogue of the Iraqi Jews, and the community's head expelled her. Her will, written in Arabic by the clerk Hillel ben Eli, lists 300 gold dinars at home, 67 on deposit and the rest in loans. It gives 25 dinars to the cemetery, 25 for synagogue lamp oil, 20 to the poor, and money to the synagogue that expelled her. It gives 100 dinars to her brother and 50 and 10 to her sisters. Her son Abu Sa'd received the estate and a tutor in the Bible and prayer book. Her daughter is not named. Of Hassun she wrote that "not one penny" should be given, but she cancelled his 80-dinar debt and left him 10 dinars. Decades later a Fustat court still recorded testimony on who Abu Sa'd's father was. The document is in Cambridge University Library.
