"عَنْ عمرَ قالَ: أَيُّها الناسُ ما بالُ رجال يصيبونَ وَلَائِدَهُمْ ثُمَّ يقُولُ أَحدُهُمْ إِذَا حملَتْ: لَيْسَ مِنَّى، فَأَيُّما رجلٍ اعْتَرَف بَإِصابَةِ وليدَتِهِ فحملتْ فَإِنَّ ولدَهَا لَهُ أحصَنَها أو لَمْ يُحصِنْها، وإنَّها إن ولدتْ حَبِيسٌ عليهِ لا تُبَاعُ، ولا تورثُ، ولا توهَبُ، وإنه يستمتِعُ بِها ما كَانَ حيًا، فإنْ ماتَ فهىَ حُرَّةٌ لَا تُحْسَبُ في حصةِ ولدِهَا، ولا يدركُهَا دَيْنٌ، فإن رسول الله ﷺ قضى أنَّهُ لا يَحِلُّ لولدٍ أَن يملِكَ وَالدةً ولا تُتْرك فِى ملكهِ".

"From 'Umar, who said: O people, what is the matter with men who have intercourse with their slave-girls, then one of them says when she becomes pregnant: It is not mine. Whichever man acknowledges having had intercourse with his slave-girl and she becomes pregnant, her child is his, whether he freed her or did not free her. If she gives birth, she is held in detention for him: she is not sold, not inherited and not given away, and he may enjoy her as long as he is alive. If he dies, she is free and is not counted in the share of her child, and no debt reaches her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that it is not lawful for a child to own his mother and that she is not left in his possession."
