15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr all from Mu’ammar ibn Yahya who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who involves himself in al- Zihar against his wife; if it is permissible to free a newborn slave for Kaffarah (expiation). He (the Imam) said, ‘Every kind of Kaffarah (expiation) that requires freeing of a slave, freeing of a newborn slave is sufficient for it except for murder; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “. . . then set free a believing slave.” (4:92) He has meant thereby one who affirms the faith and is of the age of being held responsible for violating an oath.’”
15- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ وَابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُظَاهِرُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ يَجُوزُ عِتْقُ الْمَوْلُودِ فِي الْكَفَّارَةِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ الْعِتْقِ يَجُوزُ فِيهِ الْمَوْلُودُ إِلا فِي كَفَّارَةِ الْقَتْلِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ مُقِرَّةً قَدْ بَلَغَتِ الْحِنْثَ.
