Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The jurists mentioned that if a slave woman becomes pregnant by her master, she becomes the mother of a child (umm walad) and it is not permissible to sell her. So how is the purification of a pregnant woman achieved by giving birth to her child?
Answer:
I did not understand the question, how? If she gives birth to a child by her master, she is the mother of a child (umm walad). She remains in his service until he dies, and then she is set free.
