Chapter on What Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage

Thalabah ibn Maymun narrated from Abdullah ibn Hilal, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who marries a child born of fornication. He عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it. It is only disliked due to the fear of disgrace. Indeed, the child belongs to the father, and the woman is merely a vessel." I said: What about a man who buys a bondwoman born of fornication and has relations with her? He عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it."
