Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المكاتبBook: On the Explanation of Mukatib (Contracted Slave)
بَابُ الشَّرْطِ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِCondition in the Mukatab contract
Hadith 1300Q2
قَالَ مَالِكٌ الْأَمْرُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا الَّذِي لَا اخْتِلَافَ فِيهِ أَنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ عَبْدٍ أَعْتَقَهُ سَيِّدُهُ بَعْدَ خِدْمَةِ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ. فَإِذَا هَلَكَ سَيِّدُهُ الَّذِي أَعْتَقَهُ قَبْلَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ. فَإِنَّ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ لِوَرَثَتِهِ وَكَانَ وَلَاؤُهُ لِلَّذِي عَقَدَ عِتْقَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الْعَصَبَةِ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that a mukatab is like a slave whom the master sets free after ten years of service. If the master dies and ten years have not passed, then he will complete the ten years of service with the heirs, and the wala’ will go to the one who established his freedom, or to his male offspring or to his asabah (male relatives through the father).
