رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أُخْتَانِ مَمْلُوكَتَانِ فَوَطِئَ إِحْدَاهُمَا ثُمَّ وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى قَالَ "إِذَا وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأُولَى حَتَّى تَمُوتَ اَلْأُخْرَى " قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَاعَهَا أَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلْأُولَى قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ بَاعَهَا لِحَاجَةٍ وَ لاَ يَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالِهِ مِنَ اَلْأُخْرَى شَيْءٌ فَلاَ أَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْساً وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَبِيعُهَا لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى اَلْأُولَى فَلاَ وَ لاَ كَرَامَةَ".
Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a man who owned two slave sisters and had relations with one of them, then later had relations with the other. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he has relations with the second one, then the first becomes prohibited for him until the second one dies." I said: "What if he sells the second one? Does the first then become permissible for him?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If he sold her due to a need and without intending to return to the first one, then I see no harm in it. But if he sold her with the intention of returning to the first one, then no, and may he have no honor in doing so."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي اَلْأُخْتَيْنِ فَيَطَأُ إِحْدَاهُمَا ثُمَّ يَطَأُ اَلْأُخْرَى قَالَ "إِذَا وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى بِجَهَالَةٍ لَمْ تَحْرُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأُولَى فَإِنْ وَطِئَ اَلْأَخِيرَةَ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ حَرُمَتَا عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعاً".
In a narration from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, he said: I asked him about a man who purchases two sisters and has relations with one of them, then has relations with the other. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he had relations with the second one out of ignorance, the first does not become prohibited for him. However, if he had relations with the second one while knowing that it is prohibited, then both of them become prohibited for him."
