Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there is a slave owned by two people and one of them frees his share, is it obligatory for the other to free his share so that the slave becomes fully free?
Answer:
There is a hadith regarding this issue of the extension of freedom. If he frees his share, and the partner is wealthy, he appraises the slave and gives the partner his share of the value, and the slave is thereby freed. But if the partner is not wealthy, the slave is put to work, meaning he is left to earn until he pays the partner his share of the value, and he is thereby freed. There is a hadith on this. Yes.
