لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ الْمُوسِرِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الْأَمَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ لَا يَجِدَ حُرَّةً فَكَذَلِكَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا فِي حَالِ الضَّرُورَةِ حَيْثُ لَا يَجِدُ مُسْلِمَةً حُرَّةً وَ لَا أَمَةً.

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma’il ibn Marrar and others from Yunus from ‘A’immah who has said the following: “He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not proper for an affluent Muslim man to marry a slave-girl unless he cannot find a free woman. So also, it is not proper for him to marry a woman from the people of the book unless it is an emergency when he cannot find a free Muslim woman or a slave- girl.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
