4860 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ: "اَلْمَمْلُوكُ لاَ يَجُوزُ طَلاَقُهُ وَ لاَ نِكَاحُهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ سَيِّدِهِ " قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ اَلسَّيِّدَ كَانَ زَوَّجَهُ بِيَدِ مَنِ اَلطَّلاَقُ قَالَ "بِيَدِ اَلسَّيِّدِ: ضَرَبَ اَللّٰهُ مَثَلاً عَبْداً مَمْلُوكاً لاٰ يَقْدِرُ عَلىٰ شَيْءٍ وَ اَلشَّيْءُ اَلطَّلاَقُ ".
Hadith.4860 - Ibn Udhaynah narrated from Zurarah, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir and Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq
, who both said:
"A slave cannot validly perform a divorce or marriage except with the permission of his master."
I asked: "If the master himself arranged his marriage, who then has the authority over the divorce?"
They
replied: "The authority over the divorce remains with the master, as Allah (swt) has set forth the example: 'Allah sets forth a parable: a slave who is owned and has no power over anything...' (Surah An-Nahl 16:75) and 'anything' here refers to divorce."
