Hadith.4545 - Abdullah ibn al-Qasim narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said
I asked Abu Abdillah (as): "I purchase a bondwoman from a trustworthy man who informs me that he has not touched her since she menstruated and then purified herself. Is it permissible for me to have relations with her?" Imam (as) said: "It is not permissible for you to have relations with her until she undergoes one menstrual cycle (for istibra'). However, you are allowed to engage in activities other than intercourse. Indeed, those who purchase bondwomans and have relations with them before ensuring they are free from pregnancy through istibra', such people are committing adultery with their wealth."
4545 - رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَشْتَرِي اَلْجَارِيَةَ مِنَ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْمَأْمُونِ فَيُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا مُنْذُ طَمِثَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَ طَهُرَتْ قَالَ "لَيْسَ بِجَائِزٍ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهَا حَتَّى تَسْتَبْرِئَهَا بِحَيْضَةٍ وَ لَكِنْ يَجُوزُ لَكَ مَا دُونَ اَلْفَرْجِ إِنَّ اَلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ اَلْإِمَاءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتُونَهُنَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِءُوهُنَّ فَأُولَئِكَ اَلزُّنَاةُ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ".
