Chapter on Emancipation and Its Rulings

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ وَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا مَلَكَ اَلرَّجُلُ وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أُخْتَهُ أَوْ عَمَّتَهُ أَوْ خَالَتَهُ أَوِ اِبْنَةَ أَخِيهِ أَوِ اِبْنَةَ أُخْتِهِ " وَ ذَكَرَ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ اَلْآيَةِ مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ "عَتَقُوا جَمِيعاً وَ يَمْلِكُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَمَّهُ وَ اِبْنَ أَخِيهِ وَ اِبْنَ أُخْتِهِ وَ خَالَهُ وَ لاَ يَمْلِكُ أُمَّهُ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ وَ لاَ أُخْتَهُ وَ لاَ عَمَّتَهُ وَ لاَ خَالَتَهُ فَإِذَا مَلَكَهُنَّ عَتَقْنَ " قَالَ "وَ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ اَلنَّسَبِ مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعِ " وَ قَالَ "يَمْلِكُ اَلذُّكُورَ مَا خَلاَ اَلْوَالِدَ وَ اَلْوَلَدَ وَ لاَ يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ ذَاتَ مَحْرَمٍ" قُلْتُ وَ كَذَلِكَ يَجْرِي فِي اَلرَّضَاعِ قَالَ "نَعَمْ يَجْرِي فِي اَلرَّضَاعِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ".
It is narrated from Abu Basir, Abu al-Abbas, and Ubayd ibn Zurarah, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "If a man owns his parents, or his sister, or his paternal aunt, or his maternal aunt, or his brother's daughter, or his sister's daughter"-and he mentioned the women listed in this verse-"then they all become free. However, a man may own his paternal uncle, or his brother's son, or his sister's son, or his maternal uncle, but he may not own his mother through nursing, nor his sister, nor his paternal aunt, nor his maternal aunt. If he comes to own them, they are freed." Imam عليه السلام also said: "What is prohibited due to lineage among women is also prohibited through nursing." And Imam عليه السلام said: "A man may own males except his father and his son, and he may not own any woman who is a mahram." I said: "Does the same ruling apply in the case of nursing?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, the same rulingapplies in the case of nursing."
