رَوَى سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُعْتَقَ وَلَدُ اَلزِّنَا".
It is narrated from Sa'id ibn Yasar, who said: "Abu Abdullah (a.s), said: 'There is no harm in emancipating the child born out of wedlock.' "
وَ رَوَى عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لِي زَنَتْ أَبِيعُ وَلَدَهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ" قُلْتُ أَحُجُّ بِثَمَنِهِ قَالَ "نَعَمْ".
It is narrated from Anbasa ibn Mus'ab that he said: "I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): 'A bondwoman of mine committed adultery. Can I sell her child?' Imam (a.s) said: 'Yes.' I said: 'Can I perform Hajj with its price?' Imam (a.s) said: 'Yes.' "
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ وَلَدِ اَلزِّنَا أَ يُشْتَرَى أَوْ يُبَاعُ أَوْ يُسْتَخْدَمُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ إِلاَّ جَارِيَةً لَقِيطَةً فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تُشْتَرَى".
It is narrated from Hammad, from Al-Halabi, who said: "Abu Abdullah (a.s), was asked about a child born out of adultery-can he be bought, sold, or used for service? Imam (a.s) said: 'Yes, except for a foundling girl (abandoned by parents), as she cannot be bought.' "
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اَلْمَنْبُوذُ حُرٌّ إِنْ شَاءَ جَعَلَ وَلاَءَهُ لِلَّذِينَ رَبَّوْهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ لِغَيْرِهِمْ".
It is narrated from Hammad bin Isa, from Hariz, from Abu Abdullah (a.s): "The abandoned child (foundling) is free. If he wishes, he may assign his allegiance to those who raised him, or if he wishes, to others."
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْمُثَنَّى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنْ طَلَبَ اَلَّذِي رَبَّاهُ بِنَفَقَتِهِ وَ كَانَ مُوسِراً رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُوسِراً كَانَ مَا أَنْفَقَ صَدَقَةً".
In the narration of Al-Muthanna, from Abu Abdullah (a.s): "If the one who raised the abandoned child demands repayment for his expenses and he (the child) is financially capable, he must repay him. However, if he is not financially capable, then what was spent is considered charity."
وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي لَقِيطَةٍ وُجِدَتْ فَقَالَ "حُرَّةٌ لاَ تُشْتَرَى وَ لاَ تُبَاعُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ وُلِدَ مَمْلُوكٌ لَكَ مِنَ اَلزِّنَا فَأَمْسِكْ أَوْ بِعْ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ هُوَ مَمْلُوكٌ لَكَ".
Zurarah narrates from one of the Imams (a.s), peace be upon them, that Imam (a.s) said regarding a foundling: "She is free and cannot be bought or sold. However, if a child is born to you from her through unlawful relations, then you may keep or sell the child if you wish, as he is your slave."
