Hadith.5679 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad narrated from Sulaym, the servant of Tirbal, from Hariz, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a man who used to have intimate relations with his maid and would also send her out to fulfill his needs. She became pregnant, and he heard rumors of her misconduct. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Tell him that when she gives birth, he should keep the child and not sell it, and he should allocate a share for the child from his house." It was then said to Imam عليه السلام: "What about a man who had intimate relations with his maid but did not send her out for errands, yet he suspected her and she became pregnant?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "When she gives birth, he should keep the child and not sell it, and he should allocate a share for the child from his house and wealth. This case is not like the previous one."
