Chapter: A man has intercourse with his slave woman by right of ownership and she bears him a child
Bayhaqi 21763 — A man has intercourse with his slave woman by right
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: هِيَ مَمْلُوكَةٌ بِحَالِهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ لِسَيِّدِهَا بَيْعُهَا وَلَا إِخْرَاجُهَا عَنْ مِلْكِهِ بِشَيْءٍ غَيْرِ الْعِتْقِ، وَإِنَّهَا حُرَّةٌ إِذَا مَاتَ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْمَالِ. قَالَ: هُوَ تَقْلِيدٌ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "She (the umm walad) remains owned (a slave woman) as she is, except that it is not permissible for her master to sell her, nor to remove her from his ownership by any means other than manumission; and when he (the master) dies, she becomes free out of the capital (of the estate)."
He (Imam al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This (position) is in following Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)."
He (Imam al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This (position) is in following Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ، أَنَّ نَافِعًا، أَخْبَرَهُمْ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " أَيُّمَا وَلِيدَةٍ وَلَدَتْ مِنْ سَيِّدِهَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَبِيعُهَا، وَلَا يَهَبُهَا، وَلَا يُوَرِّثُهَا، وَهُوَ يَسْتَمْتِعُ مِنْهَا، فَإِذَا مَاتَ فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ ".
Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that any slave woman who bears a child to her master is not to be sold, given as a gift or made part of an inheritance; the master may enjoy her, and after his death she is free.
