حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَصَالِحُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْدَلٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ تَزَوَّجَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَهُوَ زَانٍ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
Both of the aforementioned narrations have been declared weak in chain (isnad) by our esteemed researcher, whereas Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, in Irwa’ al-Ghalil, has narrated this issue from Jabir radi Allahu anhu as a marfu’ narration and has graded it as hasan, and has also mentioned its supporting evidences in detail.
For details, see:
(Irwa’ al-Ghalil: 6/351, 353, no. 1933)
Therefore, just as it is religiously prohibited for a woman to contract marriage without the permission of her father or guardian, similarly, it is not permissible for a slave to contract marriage without the permission of his master.
The wisdom in this is that after marriage, he will have to pay attention to his wife and children, which will affect his service to the master. Therefore, if the master, out of kindness, is willing to accept some reduction in his rights, then the slave should marry; otherwise, he should remain patient.
And the master should grant permission to the slave so that the slave can safeguard his chastity and modesty.
