Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المدبرBook: On the Explanation of Mudabbar (Slave Freed Upon Owner's Death)
بَابُ بَيْعِ الْمُدَبَّرِSale of the Mudabbar (slave to be freed after owner's death)
Hadith 1302Q4
قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْعَبْدِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ. فَيُدَبِّرُ أَحَدُهُمَا حِصَّتَهُ : إِنَّهُمَا يَتَقَاوَمَانِهِ. فَإِنِ اشْتَرَاهُ الَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ كَانَ مُدَبَّرًا كُلَّهُ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْتَرِهِ انْتَقَضَ تَدْبِيرُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ الَّذِي بَقِيَ لَهُ فِيهِ الرِّقُّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ شَرِيكَهُ الَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ بِقِيمَتِهِ. فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ بِقِيمَتِهِ لَزِمَهُ ذَلِكَ. وَكَانَ مُدَبَّرًا كُلَّهُ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a slave is jointly owned by two people and one of them declares his share as Mudabbar, then the value of the slave will be assessed. If the person who made the Mudabbar declaration buys the other partner's share as well, then the entire slave will become Mudabbar. If he does not buy it, then his declaration of Mudabbar will become void, except in the case where the one who did not make the Mudabbar declaration agrees to take the price from his partner, and takes the price, then the slave will become Mudabbar.
