موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب البيوعBook: On the Rulings of Buying and Selling
بَابُ الْعَيْبِ فِي الرَّقِيقِDefects in slaves
Hadith 1306B3
قَالَ مَالِك : الْأَمْرُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا : أَنَّ مَنْ رَدَّ وَلِيدَةً مِنْ عَيْبٍ وَجَدَهُ بِهَا، وَكَانَ قَدْ أَصَابَهَا، أَنَّهَا إِنْ كَانَتْ بِكْرًا فَعَلَيْهِ مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ ثَيِّبًا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ فِي إِصَابَتِهِ إِيَّاهَا شَيْءٌ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ ضَامِنًا لَهَا .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, this ruling is agreed upon that if a person buys a slave-girl, then returns her due to a defect, but has already had intercourse with her, then if the slave-girl was a virgin, the buyer must pay for the loss in her value; and if she was previously married (not a virgin), then the buyer does not have to pay anything.
