Chapter: Clarification of the Choice of the Slave Woman After Her Emancipation If She Was the Wife of a Slave
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7022 — Clarification of the Choice of the Slave
عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا أُعْتِقَتِ الْأَمَةُ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ فَأَمْرُهَا بِيَدِهَا فَإِنْ هِيَ أَقَرَّتْ حَتَّى يَطَأَهَا فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ فِرَاقَهُ
Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard from some of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), they narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a slave woman is set free, while she was previously the wife of a slave, then she is given the choice. If she remains in his house, until he has intercourse with her, then she will remain his wife and cannot be separated from him.
