سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ وَ سُرِّيَّةٌ يَبْدُو لَهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ سُرِّيَّتَهُ وَ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقُهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ حَلَالٌ أَوْ يَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ شَاءَ قَسَمَ لَهَا وَ إِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَقْسِمْ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ فَضَّلَ الْحُرَّةَ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ رَضِيَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, altogether from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who had a wife for him, and a concubine. It became inevitable for him that he emancipates his concubine, and marries her’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he so desires to, he stipulates upon her that her emancipation would be her dower, for that is Permissible; or he stipulates upon her, if he so desires to, he divides (his time) for her, and if he so desires to he does not divide (his time for her); and if he so desires to he prefers the free woman over her. So if she is pleased with that, so there is no problem’.
