Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a slave woman is married to a free man and she is set free while still in his marriage, then she will become a muhsanah, provided that her husband has intercourse with her after her emancipation. Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim man marries a free woman and has intercourse with her, then he will become a muhsan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade temporary marriage (mut'ah) on the day of the Battle of Khaybar, and (also forbade) eating the meat of domesticated donkeys.

It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair that Khawlah bint Hakim went to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Rabee’ah bin Umayyah had contracted mut’ah with a mawladah woman. She is pregnant from Rabee’ah. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became alarmed, dragged his cloak, and went out saying: This is mut’ah. If I had prohibited it earlier, I would have stoned (him).

Hazrat Rabi'ah bin Abu Abdur Rahman used to say: A slave can marry four women.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This statement is very good in my view.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The marriage of a slave depends on the permission of his master; if the master gives permission, it will be valid, otherwise separation will be effected, and the marriage of halalah should be abandoned in every way.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If the husband becomes the owner of the wife or the wife becomes the owner of the husband, then the marriage will be automatically annulled without divorce. Now, if they marry again, the husband will retain the right to three divorces.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a wife buys her husband and sets him free, and she is in her waiting period ('iddah), then the two of them cannot be together without a new marriage contract.

It is narrated from Ibn Shihab that some women in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would become Muslim in their own land, but would not migrate, and their husbands would be disbelievers. Among these women was Atikah, the daughter of Walid bin Mughirah, who was married to Safwan bin Umayyah. She became Muslim on the day of the conquest of Makkah, and her husband Safwan fled. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent her cousin Wahb bin Umair with his cloak as a sign to Safwan, granting him protection and inviting him to Islam, and sent word to him: "Come to me if you wish; if you do not wish to become Muslim, you will have a respite of two months." When Safwan came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, bringing his cloak, he called out before the people: "O Muhammad! Wahb bin Umair came to me with your cloak and told me that you have called me on the condition that if I wish, I may become Muslim, and if not, I will have a respite of two months." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Dismount, O Abu Wahb!" Safwan said: "By Allah, I will never dismount until you declare to me that Wahb bin Umair's message is true." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Not only that, I grant you a respite of four months." Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to the tribe of Hawazin at Hunayn, and he borrowed some weapons and equipment from Safwan. Safwan said: "Are you taking them willingly or by force?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Willingly." Safwan gave the weapons and equipment. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, returned, and Safwan remained with him in a state of disbelief during the Battle of Hunayn and at Ta'if, and his wife remained a Muslim, but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not separate his wife from him until Safwan also became Muslim, and his wife continued to remain with him.

Ibn Shihab said that Safwan's wife had accepted Islam one month before her husband, and that any woman who becomes Muslim in the land of disbelief and migrates to the land of Islam will be separated from her husband, and after completing her waiting period ('iddah), she may marry another man, except in the case where her husband also becomes Muslim and joins her during her waiting period.

It is narrated from Ibn Shihab that Umm Hakim, the wife of Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl, became Muslim on the day of the conquest of Makkah, and her husband Ikrimah fled to Yemen. Umm Hakim also went there and invited him to Islam, so he became Muslim and came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) that same year. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw him, he stood up happily and took his pledge of allegiance, and at that time there was no cloak on the blessed body of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then both husband and wife remained in their marriage.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When a man becomes Muslim before his wife, and the wife is asked to become Muslim but she does not, then the marriage will be annulled, because Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, says in His Book: «﴿وَلَا تُمْسِكُوا بِعِصَمِ الْكَوَافِرِ﴾ [الممتحنة: 10] » meaning, "Do not keep relations with disbelieving women."
