The Ruling on Buying a Free Person and Taking Pleasure from Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Mustafa ibn Mubarak, in the final corner, it must be taken to the city and a girl to four, all agreed upon. Do you say perhaps that ownership permits taking pleasure from him? And does the right of taking pleasure transfer to the sons after him? And if that is permissible, what is the ruling on the sons resulting from that?
Answer:
This is not permissible if you know that this person is free. If you know that his origin is free and no legal slavery has been applied to him, it is not permissible for you to buy him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: So as long as you know that he is free, it is not permissible for you to buy him. But if you did not know that he was free and you found him being sold, and you did not find a way to buy him? Yes.

So this one will be his opponent on the Day of Resurrection, and among them is mentioned the one who sold a free person and ate his blood.
فلازم هذا خصمه يوم القيامه وذكر منهم من باع حرا فاكل دما
