Hanish narrates that a man had intercourse with an Umm Walad slave woman, then sold her to another man, and he also had intercourse with her. Thus, both had intercourse with her in the same period of purity. After that, she gave birth to a child. They brought this issue to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the child will be the heir of both of you and will not belong to his mother, and whichever of you remains (survives), the child will be his, just as if he were his mother’s.
