Those who said: there is no usury between a slave and his master

The view of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was that there is no usury (riba) between a master and his slave. For this reason he would sell his fruit to his slaves before it ripened.

Al-Sha'bi said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master. He may give the slave one dirham and take two dirhams from him."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master."

Tawus said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master."

Something similar is reported from Jabir bin Zayd.

Ibrahim said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master."

Mughirah said: I asked Ibrahim and al-Sha'bi about a master whose slave pays him five dirhams every month, and the master demands: "Give me 200 dirhams every month and I will give you nine dirhams every month." They said that there is no harm in it.

Al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin considered it disliked that a man should give his slave dirhams on condition that he increases the income he pays.

Ibn Sirin said: "He may give him a sacrificial camel, a riding animal or other such gifts, and then increase on him as much as he wishes."

Jabir bin Zayd and al-Hasan said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master."

Ata said: "There is no usury (riba) between a slave and his master."
