َالَ مَالِكٌ : وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدُّ يَقَعُ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ، ثُمَّ يَعْتِقُ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ، فَإِنَّمَا حَدُّهُ حَدُّ عَبْدٍ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Likewise, if a hadd punishment becomes obligatory upon a slave, then he is set free, the hadd will remain as it was for a slave.
