سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُزَوِّجُ ابْنَهُ وَ هُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لِابْنِهِ مَالٌ فَعَلَيْهِ الْمَهْرُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلِابْنِ مَالٌ فَالْأَبُ ضَامِنُ الْمَهْرِ ضَمِنَ أَوْ لَمْ يَضْمَنْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, form Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who got his son married and he was young. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If there was wealth for his son, so the dower is upon him, and there did not happen to be any wealth for the son, so the father is responsible for the dower, whether he undertakes the responsibility or does not undertake the responsibility’.
