لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ الْمُوسِرِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الْأَمَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ لَا يَجِدَ حُرَّةً فَكَذَلِكَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا فِي حَالِ الضَّرُورَةِ حَيْثُ لَا يَجِدُ مُسْلِمَةً حُرَّةً وَ لَا أَمَةً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar and someone else, (It has been narrated) from Yunus, from them (one of the Imams<sup>asws</sup>) having said: ‘It is not befitting for the affluent Muslim that he marries the slave girl except if he cannot find a free woman. Thus, similar to that, it is not befitting for him that he marries a woman from the People of the Book except during a state of necessity when he cannot find a Muslim woman, neither a free one nor a slave girl’.
