Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: In this age, the commentary on the book of manumission has been omitted. He says this because there is no slavery now. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
I think this is a student of knowledge. Among the books of Islamic jurisprudence, only an ignorant person would omit this. This is not a student of knowledge. The rulings of the Shari'ah are not abolished. If slavery is absent at a certain time, it will return, if Allah wills. If jihad in the path of Allah returns, slavery will return. This is an ignorant person; he is not a student of knowledge.
