Marriage after Conjugal Relations Out of Wedlock

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Ali al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, If a man commits an indecent act (goes to bed with her out of wedlock) with a woman and then decides to marry her, it is a case of indecency in the beginning and then marriage, like a palm tree that one uses its fruit in an unlawful manner then buys the whole tree in a lawful manner and it thereafter is all lawful.”’
