Hadith.5338 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about four individuals who killed a man: one was a slave, one was a free man, one was a free woman, and one was a mukatab (a slave who had entered into a contract for his freedom and had paid half of it). Imam (as) said: "The compensation (diyyah) is to be divided as follows: the free man must pay one-fourth of the diyyah, the free woman must pay one-fourth of the diyyah, and regarding the slave, his master is given the choice - if he wills, he can pay on his behalf, and if he wills, he can surrender him entirely, and the slave's family bears no responsibility. As for the mukatab, half of one-fourth of the diyyah is taken from his own wealth, and the other half of that one-fourth is taken from those who entered into the contract with him, because half of him has been freed."
