Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does the master receive a reward for entering into a contract of manumission with his slave? And is his reward like that of freeing him outright?
Answer:
Yes, he has a reward for that, for Allah said:[An-Nur 24:33] So if he obeys the command of Allah, he has a reward for that, and because he helped the master to grant freedom. Yes.
