Chapter on the Rulings Regarding Male Slaves and Female Bondwoman
وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْحُرِّ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِأَمَةِ قَوْمٍ اَلْوُلْدُ مَمَالِيكُ أَوْ أَحْرَارٌ قَالَ "اَلْوُلْدُ أَحْرَارٌ" ثُمَّ قَالَ "إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُ وَالِدَيْهِ حُرّاً فَالْوَلَدُ حُرٌّ".
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked about a free man who marries a bondwoman belonging to a people. Are the children considered slaves or free? Imam عليه السلام said: "The children are free." Then Imam عليه السلام added: "If one of the parents is free, the child is free."
