٢٢٤١٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن زكريا عن عامر أنه سئل عن رجل اشترى جارية فزعم أنها حبلى، فأنكر الذي باعها فوضعوا الجارية على يدي عدل حتى (يبين) (١) حملها فماتت، فقال: إن كان (تبين حملها فهي من مال البائع وإن) (٢)، لم (يكن تبين) (٣) حملها فهي من مال المشتري.
Hazrat Aamir, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about a person who bought a slave-girl and thought that she was pregnant, while the seller denied it. The slave-girl was entrusted to a just person until her pregnancy became apparent. If she died, what is the ruling? He, may Allah have mercy on him, replied: If her pregnancy becomes apparent, then her loss will be from the seller’s property, and if the pregnancy does not become apparent, then her loss will be from the buyer’s property.
