Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from someone else, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about the man who happened to have the slave girl for him, so he intended that he emancipates her, so he married her and made her emancipation as her dower, or emancipates her then dowers her; and is there a waiting period upon her from him, and how much she should be observing if he were to emancipate her; and is it Permissible for him to marry her without a dower; and how much waiting period should she observe from someone else?’ So he asws said: ‘Her emancipation is allowed as her dower if he so desires, and if he so desires to he can emancipate her, then dowers her; and if it was such that her emancipation was her dower, so she would be observing a waiting period, and he would not be allowed to marry her when he emancipates her except with a dower; and the man cannot sleep with the women when he marries her until he makes something to be for her, even though it may be a Dirham’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajjal, from Sa’alba, (It has been narrated) from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: ‘When the man says to his slave girl, ‘I emancipate you and marry you, and make your dower to be your emancipation’, so it is allowed’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, (It has been narrated) from Al-Halby, from Abu Abdullah asws , said, ‘I asked him asws about the man who emancipated his concubine. Is it correct for him that he marries her without a waiting period?’ He asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Supposing he changes it?’ He asws said: ‘No, until she observes a waiting period of three months’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, altogether from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who had a wife for him, and a concubine. It became inevitable for him that he emancipates his concubine, and marries her’. So he asws said: ‘If he so desires to, he stipulates upon her that her emancipation would be her dower, for that is Permissible; or he stipulates upon her, if he so desires to, he divides (his time) for her, and if he so desires to he does not divide (his time for her); and if he so desires to he prefers the free woman over her. So if she is pleased with that, so there is no problem’.

He asws said: ‘No, but he can marry two free women, and if he so desires to, he can marry four slave girls’.
