2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Asemiy from Ali ibn al-Hassan Faddal from al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Amir from Safwan ibn Yahya from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a man who has a slave-girl with whom he goes to bed seeking to have a child, but does not become fortunate to have a child and gives her to his brother as a gift or sells her and she gives birth to several children; if his children from a woman other than her can marry the children of his brother from her. He (the Imam) asked me to say it again. I said it again and he (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is not unlawful.’”
