Al-Kafi 14019

Translation

Ali, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Inform me about the pimp, what is his Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)?’ He^asws said: ‘There is no Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) upon the pimp. Is it not, rather, he is given the wages upon what he procures?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! But rather, he gathers between the male and the female unlawfully’. He^asws said: ‘That is the joiner between the male and the female unlawfully?’ So I said, ‘He is that, may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. He^asws said: ‘He would be whipped three quarters of a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the adulterer, seventy five lashes, and he would be exiled from the city in which he is in’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! So what is upon a man who pounces upon a woman and shaves off her head?’ He^asws said: ‘He would be whipped painful lashes, and he would be imprisoned in a prison of the Muslims until her hair grows back. So when it does grows back, (an amount equal to) a dower of his womenfolk would be taken from him. And if it does not grow back, the complete wergild of five thousand Dirhams is taken from him’. So I said, ‘So how did it come to be a dower of his womenfolk, if her hair does grows back?’ He^asws said: ‘O Ibn Sinan! Hair of the woman, and her virginity are two associates in the beauty. So if one of the two goes away, the complete dower is Obligated for her’.
