I heard him being asked about a man who purchased a bondwoman and had relations with her before observing an istibra' (waiting period) to ensure she was not pregnant. Imam (as) said: "What he did was wrong. He should seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) and not repeat it." Then it was said: "What if he sold her to another man, who also had relations with her without observing an istibra'? Then the second man sold her to a third man, who also had relations with her without observing an istibra', and it later became clear that she was pregnant while with the third man?" Abu Abdillah (as) said: "The child belongs to the [current] owner of the bed (al-firash), and for the adulterer (al-ahir), there is nothing but loss (al-hajar)."
