Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a slave emancipated by his conversion to Islam, or does he remain the property of his master even if he converts?
Answer:
If a slave is owned by a disbeliever and then the slave converts to Islam, he is thereby emancipated, because a disbeliever has no authority over a Muslim. However, his loyalty (wala') remains with the disbeliever according to the school of jurisprudence. Yes.
