The Meaning of the Freedom of the Mother of a Child from All of One's Wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement, "and he is freed by his death from all of his wealth"? What is meant by "all of his wealth"?
Answer:
By faith, meaning what is of the lineage. This is contrary to the case of the *mudabbar* (one whose freedom is deferred), where it is said, "If he touches her, you are in difficulty." This comes out of the one-third, because it is a bequest, and a bequest only comes out of the one-third. As for the mother of a child, she is freed from the entire wealth, not just from the one-third. So if the mother of a child is worth more than one-third, she is freed. Yes.
