Chapter on a Dhimmi Man Marrying a Dhimmi Woman and Then Both Converting to Islam
رُوِيَ عَنْ رُومِيِّ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلنَّصْرَانِيُّ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلنَّصْرَانِيَّةَ عَلَى ثَلاَثِينَ دَنّاً خَمْراً وَ ثَلاَثِينَ خِنْزِيراً ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا قَالَ "يَنْظُرُ كَمْ قِيمَةُ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ وَ كَمْ قِيمَةُ اَلْخَمْرِ فَيُرْسِلُ بِهِ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا وَ هُمَا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا اَلْأَوَّلِ ".
It is narrated from Rumi ibn Zurarah, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a Christian man who married a Christian woman with a dowry of thirty jars of wine and thirty pigs. Later, they both embraced Islam, and he had not yet consummated the marriage with her. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should assess the value of the pigs and the wine, and send that value to her. After that, he may consummate the marriage with her, and they remain upon their original marriage contract."
