Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a master gives permission to his learned slave, is it valid to appoint him as a judge, and likewise to have him lead the Friday and 'Id prayers?
Answer:
If one person gives permission, what about the hundreds who do not? The default ruling for a slave is that he does not take on these matters. The fact that one person gives permission is an exception, and an exception has no ruling. Yes.
