وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ وَلَدِ اَلزِّنَا أَ يُبَاعُ وَ يُشْتَرَى وَ يُسْتَخْدَمُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ " قُلْتُ فَيُسْتَنْكَحُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ لاَ تَطْلُبُ وَلَدَهَا ".

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sinan who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s) about a child born out of wedlock, can he be sold, purchased, and employed as a servant? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes." I said: "Can he be married?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, but do not seek her offspring."
