Hadith 89
۞
Hadith.5056 - Ibrahim ibn Hashim narrated from Ṣalih ibn Al-Sindi from Al-Husayn ibn Khalid who reported from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as):
Imam (as) was asked about a man who had a slave woman. The slave woman said to him, "I have paid part of my emancipation contract, so I am free according to that portion."
He replied: "Yes."
After she had paid part of her contract, her master had intercourse with her.
The Imam (as) said
"If he forced her into that act, he will be punished in proportion to what she had paid of her contract, and the punishment will be waived for him in proportion to what remained of her contract. However, if she willingly participated with him, she will share the punishment equally with him and will be lashed the same amount."

كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ فَقَالَتِ اَلْأَمَةُ لَهُ مَا أَدَّيْتُ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِي فَأَنَا بِهِ حُرَّةٌ عَلَى حِسَابِ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا نَعَمْ فَأَدَّتْ بَعْضَ مُكَاتَبَتِهَا وَ جَامَعَهَا مَوْلاَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ "إِنِ اِسْتَكْرَهَهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ ضُرِبَ مِنَ اَلْحَدِّ بِقَدْرِ مَا أَدَّتْ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهَا وَ دُرِئَ عَنْهُ مِنَ اَلْحَدِّ بِقَدْرِ مَا بَقِيَ لَهُ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ تَابَعَتْهُ كَانَتْ شَرِيكَتَهُ فِي اَلْحَدِّ ضُرِبَتْ مِثْلَ مَا يُضْرَبُ".
