Chapter on Marriage of Slaves
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1117 — on Marriage of Slaves
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَقُولُ : " يَنْكِحُ الْعَبْدُ أَرْبَعَ نِسْوَةٍ " .
Hazrat Rabi'ah bin Abu Abdur Rahman used to say: A slave can marry four women.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This statement is very good in my view.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This statement is very good in my view.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The marriage of a slave depends on the permission of his master; if the master gives permission, it will be valid, otherwise separation will be effected, and the marriage of halalah should be abandoned in every way.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَالْعَبْدُ مُخَالِفٌ لِلْمُحَلِّلِ إِنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ ثَبَتَ نِكَاحُهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَالْمُحَلِّلُ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ إِذَا أُرِيدَ بِالنِّكَاحِ التَّحْلِيلُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْعَبْدِ إِذَا مَلَكَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ، أَوِ الزَّوْجُ يَمْلِكُ امْرَأَتَهُ : إِنَّ مِلْكَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ يَكُونُ فَسْخًا بِغَيْرِ طَلَاقٍ، وَإِنْ تَرَاجَعَا بِنِكَاحٍ بَعْدُ، لَمْ تَكُنْ تِلْكَ الْفُرْقَةُ طَلَاقًا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If the husband becomes the owner of the wife or the wife becomes the owner of the husband, then the marriage will be automatically annulled without divorce. Now, if they marry again, the husband will retain the right to three divorces.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَالْعَبْدُ إِذَا أَعْتَقَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ إِذَا مَلَكَتْهُ، وَهِيَ فِي عِدَّةٍ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَتَرَاجَعَا إِلَّا بِنِكَاحٍ جَدِيدٍ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a wife buys her husband and sets him free, and she is in her waiting period ('iddah), then the two of them cannot be together without a new marriage contract.
