Because of Marriage People Who Become Unlawful to Marry

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who marries a woman and has touched her. He (the Imam) said, ‘Her mahr (dower) is obligatory and she becomes unlawful for marriage to his father and his son.’”

“I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about the case of a man who had a slave-girl and he kissed her; if she was lawful for his sons. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Was it with lust?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it was with lust.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He then has left nothing if he has kissed with lust.’ He (the Imam) then initiating said, ‘If he makes her bare and looks at her with lust she becomes unlawful to marry for his father and his son.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he looks at her body?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he looks at her vagina and body with lust she becomes unlawful for him.’”

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who looks at a slave-girl whom he wants to buy; if she is lawful for his son. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she is lawful unless he has looked at her private organs.”’

“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was with him (the Imam), about the case of a man who bought a slave-girl but did not touch her. His wife commanded his son, who was ten years old, to fall on her (for sexual intercourse) and he did it, now what do you say about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘The boy has sinned as well as his mother and it is not permissible for the father, after his son’s going near her, to fall on her.’ I then asked him (the Imam) about the case of a man who has a slave-girl and his father places his hand on her with lust or looks where it is not permissible to look with lust. He (the Imam) disliked his son’s touching her.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man makes a slave-girl bare and places his hand on her she becomes unlawful for his son.’”

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who has married a woman and has touched her. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘She is unlawful to his father and her mahr (dower) is obligatory.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man commits fornication with the woman of his father or his slave-girl, it does not make her unlawful to her husband or the slave-girl unlawful to her master. If he goes to bed with a slave-girl who is lawful thereafter she becomes unlawful forever to his son and father. If a man marries a woman in a lawful way, that woman is not lawful for his father and son for marriage.

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, when he (the Imam) was asked about the case of a woman who commanded her son to fall on the slave-girl of his father and he did, ‘She has sinned and so has her son and certain ones of these people asked me about it and I said, “You can keep her because unlawful does not make lawful ones unlawful.’””

“About the case of a man who has a slave-girl and his grandson falls on her (does sexual intercourse) before his grandfather or that a man commits fornication with a woman; if she is lawful for his father to marry, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘No, it is not permissible. Only if the man marries her and goes to bed with her then his son commits fornication with her it does not harm him because unlawful does not make lawful ones unlawful and so also is the case of the slave-girl.’”
