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 1302Q5
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : فِي رَجُلٍ نَصْرَانِيٍّ دَبَّرَ عَبْدًا لَهُ نَصْرَانِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ الْعَبْدُ. قَالَ مَالِكٌ : يُحَالُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ. وَيُخَارَجُ عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ النَّصْرَانِيِّ. وَلَا يُبَاعُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ أَمْرُهُ. فَإِنْ هَلَكَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، قُضِيَ دَيْنُهُ مِنْ ثَمَنِ الْمُدَبَّرِ. إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي مَالِهِ مَا يَحْمِلُ الدَّيْنَ. فَيَعْتِقُ الْمُدَبَّرُ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a Christian makes his Christian slave a mudabbar, and afterwards the slave becomes Muslim, then he will be separated from the mawla, meaning he will not remain in the service of the mawla, because it is not appropriate for a Muslim to serve a disbeliever, so he will be separated from the mawla. And on behalf of the mawla, a certain amount will be fixed upon the slave in exchange for service, which he will pay to the mawla, but he will not be sold until the condition of the mawla is known. If the Christian mawla dies in debt, then the mudabbar will be sold and his debt will be paid, but if there is enough wealth that after paying the debt something remains, then whatever remains after the debt, the mudabbar will be freed from that one-third.
