Killing the slave by his master and the condition of equivalence in retaliation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the rule of requiring equivalence in retaliation imply that if a slave kills his master, he is not executed?

Answer:
This is higher. If the killer is higher in status than the victim, then if you hear that the killer is higher than the killed, it is not presumed. Yes.
