Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza asws , said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who arranged (the emancipation of) his slave girl, and she was pregnant.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa Al Kilaby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan asws the 1 st , said, ‘I asked him asws about a woman who arranged (the emancipation of) her slave girl of hers. So, the slave girl have birth to a gem of a girl. So the woman does not know the state of the new-born whether she is of arranged (emancipation) or without an arranged (emancipation). So he asws said to me: ‘When was the pregnancy, with the arrangement of before she had the arranged (emancipation)?’ So I said, ‘I do not know, but answer me with regards to both (situations) together’. So he asws said: ‘If it was such that the woman had an arrangement (of the emancipation) and with her was a pregnancy, and she had not mentioned what was in her belly, so the slave girl is with the arrangement and the child is a slave; and if it was rather a new pregnancy after the arrangement (of the emancipation), so the child is also with the arrangement (included) in the arrangement of its mother’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about a man who arranged (the emancipation of) his slave girl. Then he got her married to another man. So she gave birth to children from him. Then her husband died, and left the children from her. So he asws said: ‘The children from her, are like her. So when the one who arranged (the emancipation of) her mother were to die, so they are free’. I said to him asws , ‘Is it allowed for the one who arranged (the emancipation) of their mother, that he retracts in his arrangement, when he is needy?’ He asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘What is your asws view if their mother were to die after the death of the husband, and her children from the free husband remain, is it allowed for her master that he sells her children, and if he retracts upon them regarding the arrangement?’ He asws said: ‘No. But rather, for him would be that he retracts regarding the arrangement of their mother when he is needy, and she is pleased with that’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘The owned slave with the arranged (emancipation), and for his master is that he retracts regarding his arrangement, if he so desires to he sells him, and if he so desires to he gifts him, and if he so desires to he makes him as a dower’. He asws said: ‘And if his master were to leave him upon the arrangement, and an event (of death) does not occur again until his master dies, so the arranged slave is free when his master dies, and he is from the third (of the bequest). But rather, he is at the status of a man who bequeaths with a bequest, then changes his mind for it, so he alters it from before his death; and if he were to leave him and does not change it until he dies, he would be seized by it’.
