Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, you mentioned that the only way to end slavery is through manumission. Is a master granting his slave a mukatabah (contract of manumission) considered a form of manumission?
Answer:
Whether the manumission is for the sake of drawing near to Allah or is in exchange for a price, manumission as an expiation, manumission through mukatabah, or manumission initially for the sake of drawing near to Allah, all types of manumission abolish slavery, all of them abolish slavery, yes.
