٩- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ وَجَمِيعَ مَنْ لَهُ ذِمَّةٌ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ أَحَدُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ فَهُمَا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا مِنْ دَارِ الإسْلامِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا وَلإ؛ت‏ت يَبِيتَ مَعَهَا وَلَكِنَّهُ يَأْتِيهَا بِالنَّهَارِ فَأَمَّا الْمُشْرِكُونَ مِثْلُ مُشْرِكِي الْعَرَبِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمْ إِلَى انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَإِنْ أَسْلَمَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ عِدَّتِهَا فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ إِلا بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَلا سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَكَذَلِكَ جَمِيعُ مَنْ لا ذِمَّةَ لَهُ وَلا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ يَهُودِيَّةً وَلا نَصْرَانِيَّةً وَهُوَ يَجِدُ مُسْلِمَةً حُرَّةً أَوْ أَمَةً.
9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far , has said, ‘Of the non-Muslim taxpayers, if one spouse becomes a Muslim, their marriage remains valid and he cannot take her out of the Muslim domain to other areas or spend a night with her but he can meet her during the day. The pagans, like Arab pagans or others live with their marriage until the time the waiting period is complete. If the woman becomes a Muslimah then the man becomes a Muslim before the waiting period is over. She remains his wife; but if he did not become a Muslim before the waiting period is complete then she becomes stranger for him and he cannot approach her. This applies to all non-tax payers. It is not proper for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or a Christian woman if he can find a Muslim woman.’”
