It was narrated from Abdul Hamid, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who had a maid with whom he had intimate relations, and she would go out to fulfill his needs. She became pregnant, and he feared that the pregnancy might not be from him. What should he do? Should he sell the maid and the child? Imam عليه السلام replied: "He may sell the maid, but he must not sell the child, nor should he give the child any share of his wealth through inheritance."
