Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ibn Bukeyr, and Ali Bin Raib, from Zurara Bin Ayn who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far^asws about a man who married a woman in Al-Iraq. Then he went out to Syria, so he married another woman. So she turned out to be a sister of the woman in Al-Iraq. He^asws said: ‘There would be separation between him and the one who was in Syrian, and he would not go near the woman until the expiration of the waiting period of the Syrian woman’. I said, ‘Supposing he were to marry a woman, then marry her mother, and he does not know that she was her mother?’ He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj has Placed (aside the Punishment) from him due to his ignorance with that’. Then he^asws said: ‘When he knows that she is her mother, so he should not go near her, nor go near the daughter, until the mother’s waiting period expires from it. So when the waiting period of the mother expires, his marriage with the daughter would be Permissible’. I said, ‘Supposing the mother comes with a child?’ He^asws said: ‘It would be his child, and would happen to be his son, and a brother of his wife’.
