The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we studied that the slave and whatever he owns belong to his master, so how does the slave own wealth through mukharajah?
The Shaykh:
He does not own it, but it goes to his own interests: he benefits from it, lives more comfortably with it, and gives charity from it. No, it is not his property, but he gives charity from it and lives more comfortably with it. Yes.

He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant success.
