The ruling on buying the children of disbelievers whom their families sell

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some poor non-Muslim families in Russia sell their children. Is it permissible for a Muslim to buy them, teach them Islam, and take them as servants and boys?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to sell a free person. A free person is not to be sold, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to buy him, because it is forbidden. Selling a free person is forbidden, and consuming the price is forbidden. Yes.
