Al-Kāfi|Volume 5|Book 3|Chapter 29
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَشْتَرِي الْجَارِيَةَ أَوْ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا لِغَيْرِ رِشْدَةٍ وَيَتَّخِذُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَخَفِ الْعَيْبَ عَلَى وُلْدِهِ فَلا بَأْسَ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ’Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about the case of a man who buys a slave-girl or marries her without proper wedlock and keeps her for his own self, he (the Imam) has said, ‘If he is not afraid of the stigma for his children, it is not unlawful.”’
