A man who permits his slave to trade, the slave incurs debt, and the master dies

It is narrated from Ibrahim that a man gave his slave permission to trade and the slave then fell into debt, and the master also died while in debt. He said: "The master's debt will be paid first, before the slave's debt."

Al-Batti said: "I do not approve of that. The slave's debt will be paid first, before the master's debt, because he has locked up his neck (in the debt)."
