سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا بِجَهَالَةٍ أَ هِيَ مِمَّنْ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ أَبَداً فَقَالَ لَا أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ بِجَهَالَةٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْهَا بَعْدَ مَا تَنْقَضِي عِدَّتُهَا وَ قَدْ يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ فِي الْجَهَالَةِ بِمَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ بِأَيِّ الْجَهَالَتَيْنِ يُعْذَرُ بِجَهَالَتِهِ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ بِجَهَالَتِهِ أَنَّهَا فِي عِدَّةٍ فَقَالَ إِحْدَى الْجَهَالَتَيْنِ أَهْوَنُ مِنَ الْأُخْرَى الْجَهَالَةُ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الِاحْتِيَاطِ مَعَهَا فَقُلْتُ فَهُوَ فِي الْأُخْرَى مَعْذُورٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَهُوَ مَعْذُورٌ فِي أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا مُتَعَمِّداً وَ الْآخَرُ يَجْهَلُ فَقَالَ الَّذِي تَعَمَّدَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ أَبَداً .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether, from Safwan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hajjaj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who marries the woman during her waiting period out of ignorance, is she from the ones who is not Permissible for him, ever?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. If he was ignorant, so let him marry her after her having observed her waiting period, and the people are excused in the ignorance with what is greater than that’. So I said, ‘By which of the two ignorances is he excused, with his ignorance of knowing that she is Prohibited unto him, or with his ignorance that she was in her waiting period?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘One of the two ignorance which is easier than the other ignorance, that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Prohibited that upon him, and that he is not able upon the precaution with her’. So I said, ‘So he is excused in the other?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, when she has observed her waiting period, so he is excused therein he can marry her’. So I said, ‘Supposing one of the two was deliberate, and the other one was ignorant?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who was deliberate, it would not be Permissible for him that he returns to his companion, ever’.
