Serving the master by the mukatab before the completion of the mukatabah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is the mukatab required to serve his master before the completion of the mukatabah?

Answer:
He is a slave as long as a single dirham remains on him; he is required to serve his master until he pays off the debt of the mukatabah. Yes.
