Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المكاتبBook: On the Explanation of Mukatib (Contracted Slave)
بَابُ مِيرَاثِ الْمُكَاتَبِ إِذَا عَتَقَInheritance of the Mukatab if he is freed
Hadith 1299B1
قَالَ مَالِك : إِذَا كَاتَبَ الْمُكَاتَبُ فَعَتَقَ، فَإِنَّمَا يَرِثُهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمَنْ كَاتَبَهُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ الْمُكَاتَبُ مِنْ وَلَدٍ، أَوْ عَصَبَةٍ ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that when a mukatab becomes free, his heir will be the person who made him a mukatab, or the closest male relative among the mukatab's relatives on the day the mukatab dies, whether it is a son or another 'asaba (male agnate).
