Al-Majlisi on marriage with the followers of a religious book

Muhammad Baqir Al-Majlisi writes:
أجمع علماؤنا كافة على أنه لا يجوز للمسلم أن ينكح غير الكتابية من أصناف الكفار واختلفوا في الكتابية على أقوال الأول التحريم مطلقا، ​​اختاره المرتضى والشيخ في أحد قوليه، وهو أحد قولي المفيد وقواه ابن إدريس الثاني جواز متعة اليهود والنصارى اختيارا، والدوام اضطرارا، ذهب إليه الشيخ في النهاية وابن حمزة وابن البراج الثالث عدم جواز العقد بحال، وجواز ملك اليمن، وهو أحد أقوال الشيخ الرابع جواز المتعة وملك اليمن لليهودية والنصرانية، وتحريم الدوام وهو اختيار أبو الصلاح وسلار وأكثر المتأخرين الخامس تحريم نكاحهن مطلقا اختيارا، وتجويزه مطلقا اضطرارا، وتجويز ملك اليمن، اختاره ابن الجنيد السادس التجويز مطلقا، ​​وهو اختيار ابن بابويه، وابن أبي عقيل، ويدل عليه قوله تعالى: وأحل لكم ما وراء ذلكم وقوله تعالى والمحصنات من الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم قال السيد رحمه الله في شرح النافع: ودعوى نسخها بقوله تعالى ولا تمسكوا بعصم الكوافر لم يثبت، فإن النسخ لا يثبت بخبر الواحد خصوصا مع معارضته لما هو أصح منه

“All our scholars agree that the Muslim is not allowed to enter into a partnership with any of the unbelievers, who are not people of book and they differ with themselves with regard to a woman who belongs to the people of the book with different views: The first view consists in the absolute prohibition of it that Al-Murtada and At-Tusi advocated in one of their statements and is one of Al-Mufid’s opinion, and Ibn Idris also affirmed this. The second view is to allow a temporary partnership with a Jewish or Nazarene woman as a free choice and a permanent partnership in need.At-Tusi was inclined to do so in An-Nihayah as well as Ibn Hamzah and Ibn Al-Barraj. The third view consists in the invalidity of the contract in a particular case and the permission with regard to the bondswoman and this is one of the views of At-Tusi.The fourth view is that a temporary partnership should be permitted and with regard to the Jewish and Nazarene bondswomen, and that a permanent partnership, represented by Abu As-Sallah and Sallar and most later scholars, should be prohibited. The fifth view is the absolute prohibition of both partnerships as a free choice and their absolute permission in emergency as well as the permission regarding the bondswomen represented by Ibn Al-Junaid.The sixth view consists in the absolute permission represented by Ibn Babawaih (As-Saduq) and Ibn Abi Uqail and he proves this with the verse: “You have been allowed to do, whatever goes beyond that.” (4:24) As well as the verse: “And the chaste women of those to whom the Book was given before you are permitted to you. (5:5) Al-Amili, God have mercy on him, said in Sharh-un-Nafi’s work: “The claim that it was abolished by the verse: “Keep no covenant with unbelieving women”. (60:10) Has never been proven, because the annulment cannot be confirmed by an individual report and especially not with a contradiction to it if it is more authentic.” [Mir’at-ul-Uqul, Volume 20 Pages 63 – 64]
