Hadith 64
۞
Hadith.3484 - Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation) who entered into the contract on behalf of himself and his wealth. He had a female slave and was under a condition that he should not marry. He then freed the female slave and married her.
Imam (as) said
"He is not allowed to make changes to his wealth except for basic sustenance, and his marriage is invalid and rejected."
It was asked: "What if his master knew about the marriage and remained silent without objecting?"
Imam (as) said: "If the master remained silent after knowing, then he has approved it."
It was further asked: "If the mukatab was later emancipated, should he renew the marriage contract or continue based on the initial contract?"
Imam (as) said: "He may continue based on the initial marriage."
3484 - وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ : فِي مَمْلُوكٍ كَاتَبَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ لَهُ أَمَةٌ وَ قَدْ شُرِطَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَأَعْتَقَ اَلْأَمَةَ وَ تَزَوَّجَهَا قَالَ "لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ فِي مَالِهِ إِلاَّ اَلْأَكْلَةَ مِنَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ نِكَاحُهُ فَاسِدٌ مَرْدُودٌ" قِيلَ فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَهُ عَلِمَ بِنِكَاحِهِ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئاً قَالَ "إِذَا صَمَتَ حِينَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَقَرَّ" قِيلَ فَإِنْ كَانَ اَلْمُكَاتَبُ أُعْتِقَ أَ فَتَرَى أَنْ يُجَدِّدَ نِكَاحَهُ أَوْ يَمْضِيَ عَلَى اَلنِّكَاحِ اَلْأَوَّلِ قَالَ "يَمْضِي عَلَى نِكَاحِهِ".
