قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَمِمَّا يُبَيِّنُ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا أَنَّ مِنْ سُنَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الَّتِي لَا اخْتِلَافَ فِيهَا. أَنَّ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مُكَاتَبٍ لَمْ يُعْتَقْ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَالِهِ وَلَوْ عَتَقَ عَلَيْهِ. كَانَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُ دُونَ شُرَكَائِهِ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that another proof of this is that the practice of the Muslims, about which there is no difference, is that if a person frees a share from a mukatab, then he will not be freed from his wealth, because if it were so, the wala’ would go to him and not to his partners.
