The slave’s Hajj, then his manumission, and its sufficiency for the Hajj of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a slave performs Hajj and is then freed, does that suffice for the Hajj of Islam, or is he required to perform Hajj again?

Answer:
He is not required to perform Hajj again, because his Hajj was performed while he was a slave, and that does not suffice. The same applies to a child: if he performs Hajj and then reaches puberty, he is required to perform Hajj a second time, because his Hajj was a voluntary act, and the Hajj of a slave is a voluntary act, and a voluntary act does not suffice for an obligatory one. There is no prohibition. Yes. Al-Iraqi. How do I know? Yes. If a Muslim who has reached puberty performs Hajj, his Hajj suffices for him, whether he is a Bedouin or a city dweller. If he is an adult Muslim who performs Hajj, his Hajj and his 'Umrah suffice for him.
