Hadith 1429
۞
11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has said the following
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a man who has a Christian wife; if he can marry a Jewish woman as a second wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘People of the book are under the domain of the Imam and there is permission from us for you especially, so it is not unlawful to marry.’ I then asked, ‘Can he marry a slave-girl?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper to marry three slave-girls. If he marries a Muslim woman who does not know about his non-Muslim wives and he goes to bed with her, she can demand the mahr (dower) whatever it is, and it is up to her to live with him or go to her family. If she decides to go; after three cycles of menses or three months she can lawfully marry.’ I then asked, ‘Can he bring her back if he divorces the Jewish and Christian women before her waiting periods is complete?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”

سَأَلْتُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا يَهُودِيَّةً فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ مَمَالِيكُ لِلإمَامِ وَذَلِكَ مُوَسَّعٌ مِنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ خَاصَّةً فَلا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَزَوَّجُ أَمَةً قَالَ لا لا يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ ثَلاثَ إِمَاءٍ فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهِمَا حُرَّةً مُسْلِمَةً وَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ لَهُ امْرَأَةً نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَيَهُودِيَّةً ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَإِنَّ لَهَا مَا أَخَذَتْ مِنَ الْمَهْرِ فَإِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تُقِيمَ بَعْدُ مَعَهُ أَقَامَتْ وَإِنْ شَاءَتْ تَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَهَبَتْ وَإِذَا حَاضَتْ ثَلاثَةَ حِيَضٍ أَوْ مَرَّتْ لَهَا ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ حَلَّتْ لِلأزْوَاجِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَ عَلَيْهَا الْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَالنَّصْرَانِيَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّةُ الْمُسْلِمَةِ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
