لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْحُرُّ الْمَمْلُوكَةَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ حَيْثُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا وَ الطَّوْلُ الْمَهْرُ وَ مَهْرُ الْحُرَّةِ الْيَوْمَ مَهْرُ الْأَمَةِ أَوْ أَقَلُّ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from certain persons of our people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not proper today for a free man to marry a slave- girl. It was permissible as Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘If one cannot find resources. . . .’ (4:25) Resources is a reference to mahr (dower). Today mahr (dower) is like the mahr (dower) of slave-girls or less.’”
