Chapter on the Divorce by a Slave
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 20
رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "طَلاَقُ اَلْعَبْدِ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً حُرَّةً أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ وَلِيدَةَ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ إِلَى اَلْعَبْدِ وَ إِنْ تَزَوَّجَ وَلِيدَةَ مَوْلاَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا أَوْ يَجْمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِنْ شَاءَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ نَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ بِغَيْرِ طَلاَقٍ".
Muhammad ibn Al-Fudayl narrated from Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام, who said: "The divorce of a slave who marries a free woman or marries a bondwoman belonging to another people is in the hands of the slave himself. However, if he marries a bondwoman owned by his master, the master has the authority to either separate them or keep them together if he wishes. Additionally, if he wants, he can take her away from him without the need for a formal divorce."
