2- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ نِكَاحِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالنَّصْرَانِيَّةِ فَقَالَ لا يَصْلُحُ لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَنْكِحَ يَهُودِيَّةً وَلا نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَإِنَّمَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ مِنْهُنَّ نِكَاحُ الْبُلْهِ.

9- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ وَجَمِيعَ مَنْ لَهُ ذِمَّةٌ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ أَحَدُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ فَهُمَا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا مِنْ دَارِ الإسْلامِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا وَلإ؛ت‏ت يَبِيتَ مَعَهَا وَلَكِنَّهُ يَأْتِيهَا بِالنَّهَارِ فَأَمَّا الْمُشْرِكُونَ مِثْلُ مُشْرِكِي الْعَرَبِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمْ إِلَى انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ عِدَّتِهَا فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ إِلا بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَلا سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَكَذَلِكَ جَمِيعُ مَنْ لا ذِمَّةَ لَهُ وَلا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ يَهُودِيَّةً وَلا نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَهُوَ يَجِدُ مُسْلِمَةً حُرَّةً أَوْ أَمَةً.

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Of the non-Muslim taxpayers, if one spouse becomes a Muslim, their marriage remains valid and he cannot take her out of the Muslim domain to other areas or spend a night with her but he can meet her during the day. The pagans, like Arab pagans or others live with their marriage until the time the waiting period is complete. If the woman becomes a Muslimah then the man becomes a Muslim before the waiting period is over. She remains his wife; but if he did not become a Muslim before the waiting period is complete then she becomes stranger for him and he cannot approach her. This applies to all non-tax payers. It is not proper for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or a Christian woman if he can find a Muslim woman.’”

10- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ يَهُودِيَّةً وَلا نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَهُوَ يَجِدُ مُسْلِمَةً حُرَّةً أَوْ أَمَةً.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Isma’il ibn Marrar from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It is not proper for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or a Christian woman if he can find a free Muslim woman or a slave-girl.’”

11- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا يَهُودِيَّةً فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ مَمَالِيكُ لِلإمَامِ وَذَلِكَ مُوَسَّعٌ مِنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ خَاصَّةً فَلا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَزَوَّجُ أَمَةً قَالَ لا لا يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ ثَلاثَ إِمَاءٍ فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهِمَا حُرَّةً مُسْلِمَةً وَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ لَهُ امْرَأَةً نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَيَهُودِيَّةً ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَإِنَّ لَهَا مَا أَخَذَتْ مِنَ الْمَهْرِ فَإِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تُقِيمَ بَعْدُ مَعَهُ أَقَامَتْ وَإِنْ شَاءَتْ تَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ذَهَبَتْ وَإِذَا حَاضَتْ ثَلاثَةَ حِيَضٍ أَوْ مَرَّتْ لَهَا ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ حَلَّتْ لِلأزْوَاجِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَ عَلَيْهَا الْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَالنَّصْرَانِيَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّةُ الْمُسْلِمَةِ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who has a Christian wife; if he can marry a Jewish woman as a second wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘People of the book are under the domain of the Imam and there is permission from us for you especially, so it is not unlawful to marry.’ I then asked, ‘Can he marry a slave-girl?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper to marry three slave-girls. If he marries a Muslim woman who does not know about his non-Muslim wives and he goes to bed with her, she can demand the mahr (dower) whatever it is, and it is up to her to live with him or go to her family. If she decides to go; after three cycles of menses or three months she can lawfully marry.’ I then asked, ‘Can he bring her back if he divorces the Jewish and Christian women before her waiting periods is complete?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”
