The mukatab slave: those who said no zakah is due from him

Mujahid said: There is no zakah on the wealth of a mukatab slave (one who has contracted to buy his freedom).

It is narrated from al-Hakam that Umar bin Abd al-Aziz said: There is no zakah on the wealth of a mukatab.

Subayh Abu al-Jahm, a freedman of Banu Abs, said: I asked Sa'id bin Jubayr and Sa'id bin al-Musayyib whether, if a mukatab has wealth, there is zakah on his wealth. Both of them answered: No.

Masruq said: There is no zakah on the wealth of a mukatab.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There is no zakah on a mukatab or a slave until they are freed. (After freedom zakah is due.)

It is narrated from Nafi' that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: There is no zakah on the wealth of a mukatab or a slave until they are freed.

Kaysan Abu Sa'id al-Maqburi said: I came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) with two hundred dirhams as the zakah of my wealth, and I was a mukatab. Sayyiduna Umar said: Have you been freed? I said: Yes. He said: Then take this wealth, go and distribute it (among the poor).

Sulayman bin Musa also said the like of the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).
