Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws having said: ‘The contracted slave, it is not allowed for him an emancipation, nor a gifting, nor marriage, nor testimony, nor a Hajj, until he pays off the entirety of what is upon him, when his master that stipulated upon him that if he was frustrated (from paying off), from an installment from his installments, so he would be returned into the slavery’.

Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed, from Bureyd Al Ajaly who said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who contracted a slave of his upon a thousand Dirhams, and did not stipulate upon him when he contracted him that if he was frustrated from (paying off) his contract, so he would be returned into the slavery, and that the contracted slave had paid five hundred Dirhams to his master. Then the contracted slave died and left wealth, and left a son of his, adult. So he asws said: ‘Half of what the contracted slave left from something, so it is for his master who had contracted him, and the remaining half is for the son of the contracted slave, because the contracted slave died and half of him was free and half of him was with the one who had contracted him. So the son of the contracted slave is like his father, half of him is free and half of him is a slave. So if he pays off to the one who had contracted his father, whatever was remaining upon his father, so he is free. There would be no way for anyone from the people over him’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid, (It has been narrated) from Al-Sadiq asws , said, ‘He asws was asked about a man who contracted a slave girl of his. So the slave girl said, ‘Whatever I pay off from my contract, so I would be free by it upon the accounting of that’. So he said to her, ‘Yes’. So she paid off part of her contract and her master copulated with her after that. So he asws said: ‘If she had disliked it upon that, he would be whipped from the legal penalty ( Hadd ) by the measurement of what she had paid off from her contract, and it would be staved off from the legal penalty ( Hadd ) by the measurement of what remains for him from her contract; and if she had followed him, so she is an associate of his in the legal penalty ( Hadd ), and she would be whipped similar to what he would be whipped’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Al Aa’la Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws having said: ‘The contracted slave, when he pays off something, he is emancipated by the measurement of what he pays off, except if his master had stipulated that if he was frustrated (from paying it) so he would be returned (into slavery). So for them is their stipulated conditions’.
