Al-Li‘an (Condemnation)

لَا يَقَعُ اللِّعَانُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَهْلِهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Al-Li‘an (condemnation) does not take place until one goes to bed with his wife/”

لَا تَكُونُ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ وَ لَا الْإِيلَاءُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الدُّخُولِ.

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Condemnation and swearing take place only after going to bed with her.’”

“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘Those who accuse their wives and do not have witnesses except themselves. . . (24:4) He (the Imam) said, ‘He is one who accuses his wife. If he accuses then confesses that he has lied against her, the punishment for him is w

“Once ‘Abbad al-Basriy asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when I was present, ‘How does a man go through the process of Mula ‘inah (condemnation) against the woman?’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), explained a judgment of the Messenger of Allah.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man accuses his wife he cannot condemn her unless he can say that he has seen a man between her legs fornicating.’ He (the narrator) has said that he (the I

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if al-Li‘an (condemnation) can take place between a free man and a slave-girl. He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, it can take place between a slave and a free woman, between a slave and a slave-girl, between a Muslim and a Jewish woman or a Christian woman but they do not inherit each other

“About the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li ‘an (condemnation) against his wife who is pregnant, then claims her child to be his child after childbirth thinking that the child is his.

“About the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li‘an (condemnation) against his wife who is speechless, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘They must be separated from each other.”’

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a man and woman who are involved in al-Li‘an (condemnation) and about how they do it. He (the Imam) said, ‘The Imam sits with his back to al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) and they stand in front of him facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) before him and he begins with the man, then the w

‘The Imam sits down with his back to the al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) and keeps the man on his right and the woman on his left.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ نَكَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ قَالَ إِنْ نَكَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ جُلِدَ وَ إِنْ نَكَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْيَمِينُ عَلَيْهَا فَعَلَيْهَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ قَائِماً يُلَاعِنُ أَوْ قَاعِداً قَالَ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهَا مِنْ قِيَامٍ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْت

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li ‘an (condemnation) against his woman and testifies swearing by Allah four times but declines the fifth time.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who has gone through the process of al-Li‘an (condemnation) against his wife who is pregnant and her pregnancy has become clear but denies what is in her womb.

“I once asked him (the Imam), Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who falsely accuses his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is whipped, then they are left alone. He does not go through the process of al- Li‘an (condemnation) who then is made to say, ‘I testify that I saw you doing so and so.’”

لَا يَكُونُ اللِّعَانُ إِلَّا بِنَفْيِ وَلَدٍ وَ قَالَ إِذَا قَذَفَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ لَاعَنَهَا[1].

‘al-Li‘an (condemnation) does not take place without denying the child.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When a man accuses his woman he can go through the process of al-Li‘an (condemnation) against her.’”

لَا يُلَاعِنُ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘A man cannot go through the process of al-Li‘an (condemnation) against his wife in the manner of Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage).”’

“Once abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, was asked about the case of a man who accuses his wife of committing fornication and she is speechless, deaf and cannot hear.

يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ أَبَداً.

“About the case of a woman who is speechless and about how can he go through the process of al- Li‘an (condemnation) against her, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘They must be separated from each other and she is not lawful for him in marriage forever.’”

لَا يَكُونُ اللِّعَانُ حَتَّى يَزْعُمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَايَنَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Al-Li‘an (condemnation) does not take place unless one believes that he has seen it.’”

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws , said, ‘I asked him asws about a free man under whom is a slave girl, or a slave under whom is a free woman, how would he divorce her, and how much is her waiting period?’ So he asws said

قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‌ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْحُرَّةُ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ فَالطَّلَاقُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ بِالنِّسَاءِ يَعْنِي تَطْلِيقَهَا ثَلَاثاً وَ تَعْتَدُّ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ.

Ali, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen asws said: ‘When the free woman is under the slave, so the divorce and the waiting period is with the women, meaning he divorces would be three, and she would wait for three menstruations’.

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Al Razzaz, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Ays Bin Al Qasim who said, ‘Ibn Shubrama (a judge) said, ‘The divorce is for the men’. So Abu Abdullah asws said: ‘The divorce is for the women, and the proof of that is that the slave happens to have the f

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘A divorce of the owned slave to the free woman are three divorces, and a divorce of the free man to the slave woman are two divorces’.

طَلَاقُ الْحُرِّ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَمَةٌ تَطْلِيقَتَانِ وَ طَلَاقُ الْحُرَّةِ إِذَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ الْمَمْلُوكِ ثَلَاثٌ.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Dawood Bin Sirham, Abu Abdullah asws has said: ‘A divorce of the free man when there was a slave girl in his presence, are two divorces, and a divorce of the free woman when she was under the owned slave, are three’.

إِذَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ لِرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّ الْمَوْلَى يَأْخُذُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ وَ إِذَا شَاءَ رَدَّهَا وَ قَالَ لَا يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُ الْعَبْدِ إِذَا كَانَ هُوَ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ لِرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْعَبْدُ لِرَجُلٍ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ لِرَجُلٍ وَ تَزَوَّجَهَا بِإِذْنِ مَوْلَاهُ وَ إِذْنِ مَوْلَاهَا فَإِنْ طَلَّقَ وَ هُوَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَنْزِلَةِ فَإِنَّ طَلَاقَهُ جَائِزٌ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘If there was the slave and his wife for one man (master), so is the master takes her when he so desires to, and when he so desires

Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Fazzal Bin Salih, from Lays Al Murady who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about the slave, is his divorce allowed?’ So he asws said: ‘If she was a bondmaid, so no.

Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far asws about the man who permits his slave that he marries the free woman, or a slave girl, would the divorced be fixed to the master or to the slave?’ He asws said: ‘The divorce is up to the slave’.
