The Sale of a Runaway Slave and a Stray Camel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And from the second, namely that it be continuous with him; did it not continue for him?
The Shaykh:
If he is able to sell the runaway slave or the stray camel to someone who has the ability to restrain it, but when does he have that ability? I do not think so, but they said this regarding the usurped item: the usurped item is distributed to whoever is able to take it from the usurper, because this is a tangible thing that can be controlled. But the stray camel and the runaway slave cannot be controlled by anyone, so it is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited that absolutely. Yes.
