The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the issue of the exit fee, is it permissible for the owner of the slave to set the exit fee at a specific daily amount, or is the exit fee based on a percentage?
The Shaykh:
No, a specific daily amount. He pays him a set amount, and the rest is for him. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: And if he cannot afford that daily amount, what does he do?
The Shaykh:
[Al-Baqarah 2:286] If he cannot, if he cannot, this is if he can. The exit fee is only with the ability to pay. Yes.
