Castration of a slave if he requests marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a slave requests marriage from his master, is it permissible for the master to castrate him so that he does not cause corruption?

Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah, this is not permissible, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says
Whoever castrates his slave, we will castrate himمن خصا عبده خصيناه
, this is retaliation, retaliation is carried out, this is not permissible.
