Hadith.4576 - Jamil narrated from Fudayl, who said
I said to Abu Abdillah (as): "May I be your ransom! Some of our companions have narrated from you that you said if a man permits his believing brother to have relations with his bondwoman, then she is lawful for him." Imam (as) said: "Yes, O Fudayl." I asked: "What do you say about a man who has a precious bondwoman who is a virgin, and he permits his brother to enjoy her, but only in ways other than intercourse? Is it permissible for him to deflower her?" Imam (as) said: "No, he is only allowed what has been made lawful for him. Even if he permitted him only to kiss her, nothing beyond that would be lawful for him." I asked: "What if he permitted him everything except intercourse, but his desire overcame him, and he deflowered her?" Imam (as) said: "He should not do that." I asked: "If he did, would he be considered a fornicator?" Imam (as) said: "No, but he would be a betrayer and must compensate the owner of the bondwoman with one-tenth of her value."

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا رَوَى عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِذَا أَحَلَّ اَلرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ فَرْجَ جَارِيَتِهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ حَلاَلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ "نَعَمْ يَا فُضَيْلُ " قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ عِنْدَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ نَفِيسَةٌ وَ هِيَ بِكْرٌ أَحَلَّ لِأَخٍ لَهُ مَا دُونَ اَلْفَرْجِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَفْتَضَّهَا قَالَ "لاَ لَيْسَ لَهُ إِلاَّ مَا أَحَلَّ لَهُ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ أَحَلَّ لَهُ قُبْلَةً مِنْهَا لَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ" قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ هُوَ أَحَلَّ لَهُ مَا دُونَ اَلْفَرْجِ فَغَلَبَتْهُ اَلشَّهْوَةُ فَاقْتَضَّهَا قَالَ "لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ ذَلِكَ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَ يَكُونُ زَانِياً قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَكُونُ خَائِناً وَ يَغْرَمُ لِصَاحِبِهَا عُشْرَ قِيمَتِهَا".
