1131. Ruwaifī' bin Thābit narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then he does not levy his water on someone else's child."[1] (Hasan)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan. It has been reported through more than one route from Ruwaifī' bin Thābit. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They do not think that if a man buys a slave girl and she is pregnant, that he can have sexual
relations with her until she delivers. There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Abū Ad-Dardā', Al-'Irbāq bin Sāriyah, and Abū Sa'eed.

Commentary
The child in the womb of the mother belongs to the father, so it is not lawful to have sexual relations with a woman who is pregnant from someone else. All A'immah agree on this point. This narration is with reference to slave girls.
