قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي مُكَاتَبٍ أَوْ مُدَبَّرٍ ابْتَاعَ أَحَدُهُمَا جَارِيَةً. فَوَطِئَهَا. فَحَمَلَتْ مِنْهُ وَوَلَدَتْ. قَالَ : وَلَدُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ جَارِيَتِهِ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ. يَعْتِقُونَ بِعِتْقِهِ. وَيَرِقُّونَ بِرِقِّهِ. قَالَ مَالِكٌ : فَإِذَا أُعْتِقَ هُوَ. فَإِنَّمَا أُمُّ وَلَدِهِ مَالٌ مِنْ مَالِهِ. يُسَلَّمُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا أُعْتِقَ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a mukatab or a mudabbar buys a slave girl and has intercourse with her, and she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, then the child of each will follow his father; with his freedom, the child will also be free, and with his slavery, the child will also be a slave. If the mukatab or mudabbar is set free, then the umm walad will be like him and like his mother, and she will be entrusted to him.
