A man who marries a slave woman who is freed before consummation, is given the choice and chooses to leave: is she due a mahr?

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked: "If a man marries a slave woman, and then before consummation the slave woman is freed, and according to the Shari'ah ruling she is given the choice of accepting or not accepting her husband, and she chooses separation from her husband, does she receive the dowry?" He said: "She receives nothing; she cannot have both things, herself and the dowry."

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: If a slave woman was married to a slave, then she was freed and, after being freed, given the choice, and she chose herself (separation) before consummation, the woman receives no dowry, and this counts as an irrevocable (ba'in) divorce.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man gives his slave woman in marriage for a specified dowry, and then she is freed before consummation, and she is given the choice and chooses herself (separation), the marriage is void and the dowry is returned to her husband.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man marries a slave woman, and then before consummation the slave woman is freed, and according to the Shari'ah ruling she is given the choice of accepting or not accepting her husband, and she chooses separation from her husband, she receives no dowry.

Mujahid said: If a man marries a slave woman, and then before consummation the slave woman is freed, and according to the Shari'ah ruling she is given the choice of accepting or not accepting her husband, and she chooses separation from her husband, she receives nothing.
