If a Man Has Relations with a Slave Girl After Purchase, Then Discovers a Defect

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if the slave woman was previously married, then one should take back one-twentieth; and if she was a virgin, then one should take back one-tenth.

It is also narrated in the same manner from Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him).

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the slave-girl will not be returned, but the price of the defect will be refunded to him.

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said that when a person buys a slave-girl and then a disease (defect) appears in her which existed while she was with the seller, then it is the responsibility of the seller; the seller will not take anything back from him.

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the sale will be enforced upon him, and nothing will be returned to him.

Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, says regarding a person who buys a slave girl who has a disease, and he has intercourse with her before becoming aware of the defect, that he says: I prefer that her price be reduced somewhat, and this sale will be permissible for him.

Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in the case of a slave-girl, the option of time (for choice) will not be given; rather, the buyer will decide based on the apparent condition.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if she was a virgin, then one-tenth of the dowry will be returned, and if she was previously married, then half of one-tenth will be returned.

Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that he will also return ten dinars along with the slave-girl.
