سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً حَامِلًا وَ قَدِ اسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا فَوَطِئَهَا قَالَ بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعَ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ قَالَ أَ عَزَلَ عَنْهَا أَمْ لَا قُلْتُ أَجِبْنِي فِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ عَزَلَ عَنْهَا فَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لَا يَعُودُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَعْزِلْ عَنْهَا فَلَا يَبِيعُ ذَلِكَ الْوَلَدَ وَ لَا يُورِثُهُ وَ لَكِنْ يُعْتِقُهُ وَ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ مَالِهِ يَعِيشُ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَذَّاهُ بِنُطْفَتِهِ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Say Bin Ameyra, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought a pregnant slave girl and her pregnancy had manifested, so he slept with her. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Evil is what he has done’. I said, ‘So what are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is he isolated from her or not?’ I said, ‘Answer me regarding the two aspects’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he had isolated, so let him fear Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and he should not repeat, and if he had not isolated from her, so she should not sell that child, and he would not inherit him, but he should emancipate him and make something from his wealth to be for him he can live by, for he had nourished him with his seed’.
