Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المدبرBook: On the Explanation of Mudabbar (Slave Freed Upon Owner's Death)
بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ فِي وَلَدِ الْمُدَبَّرِChapter on legal rulings regarding the child of a mudabbar (slave set free after owner's death)
Hadith 1300Q27
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا فِيمَنْ دَبَّرَ جَارِيَةً لَهُ. فَوَلَدَتْ أَوْلَادًا بَعْدَ تَدْبِيرِهِ إِيَّاهَا. ثُمَّ مَاتَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ قَبْلَ الَّذِي دَبَّرَهَا : إِنَّ وَلَدَهَا بِمَنْزِلَتِهَا. قَدْ ثَبَتَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الشَّرْطِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي ثَبَتَ لَهَا. وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ هَلَاكُ أُمِّهِمْ. فَإِذَا مَاتَ الَّذِي كَانَ دَبَّرَهَا فَقَدْ عَتَقُوا، إِنْ وَسِعَهُمُ الثُّلُثُ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person declares his slave woman as mudabbar, and after that she gives birth to children, then if that slave woman dies in the presence of her master, her children will remain mudabbar like their mother. When the master dies and there is room in one third of the wealth, they will be set free.
