245. hadíth

وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْحُرِّ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِأَمَةِ قَوْمٍ اَلْوُلْدُ مَمَالِيكُ أَوْ أَحْرَارٌ قَالَ "اَلْوُلْدُ أَحْرَارٌ" ثُمَّ قَالَ "إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُ وَالِدَيْهِ حُرّاً فَالْوَلَدُ حُرٌّ".

Abu Abdillah (a.s) was asked about a free man who marries a bondwoman belonging to a people. Are the children considered slaves or free? Imam (a.s) said: "The children are free." Then Imam (a.s) added: "If one of the parents is free, the child is free."
