Chapter: Marrying a slave woman along with a free woman, and a free woman along with a slave woman
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 1906 — Marrying a slave woman along with a free
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ: أنا مُغِيرَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْحُرَّةَ عَلَى الْأَمَةِ فَأَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يُفَارِقَ الْأَمَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَخَافَ الْعَنَتَ، فَإِنْ خَافَ الْعَنَتَ أَمْسَكَهَا، وَقَسَمَ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ، وَلِلْحُرَّةِ الثُّلُثَيْنِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ»
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "When a free woman marries a man who already has a slave woman, then in my view it is preferable that he should leave the slave woman. However, if there is fear of falling into adultery, then he may keep her, and he should give the slave woman one third and the free woman two thirds of the turn, whether it is regarding intimacy or wealth."
