6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Sabbah al-Hadhdha’ from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

“I once asked abu al-Hassan , about a man who is not in the state of Ihram and involves himself in sexual relation with his slave-girl who is in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Is he affluent or poor?’ I replied, ‘I am a stranger about his condition.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Did he command her to assume the state of Ihram or she did it on her own?’ I replied, ‘I am stranger about it.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If he is affluent and knowing that he must not have done so and he was the one who commanded her to assume the state of Ihram, he owes one badanah or if he likes one cow or one sheep. If he did not command her to assume the state of Ihram, he then does not owe anything, regardless of being affluent or poor, but if he had commanded her to assume the state of Ihram and he is poor, he then owes one sheep.’”
