3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَزَوَّجُ امْرَأَةً مُتْعَةً وَيَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لا يَطْلُبَ وَلَدَهَا فَتَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِوَلَدٍ فَشَدَّدَ فِي إِنْكَارِ الْوَلَدِ وَقَالَ أَيَجْحَدُهُ إِعْظَاماً لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنِ اتَّهَمَهَا فَقَالَ لا يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ إِلا مُؤْمِنَةً أَوْ مُسْلِمَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ الزَّانِي لا يَنْكِحُ إِلا زانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُها إِلا زانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ وَحُرِّمَ ذلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il who has said the following: “A man once asked al-Rida’, Alayhi al-Salam, when I was listening, about the case of a man who married a woman in the manner of al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) with the condition that he was not to support her child. She thereafter brought a child to him and he strongly denied the child. He (the Imam) said, ‘Does he deny it because of its greatness?’ The man replied, ‘He accuses her (of wrong doing).’ He (the Imam) said, it is not proper for you to marry anyone other than believing, Muslim female because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “The fornicator cannot marry but a female fornicator or a female pagan and a female fornicator cannot marry anyone other than a male fornicator or a pagan and it is unlawful to believing people.” (23:3)’”
