Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man buys a mukatab slave from his master, and the buyer refuses to continue the mukatabah, does the slave return with his money, and take it from his former master?
The Shaykh:
Yes. He buys him on this condition: that the writing continues. It does not cancel the writing. Because this is a condition in his contract, so it does not become void. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Provided that he is a mukatab, he remains under his writing, having entered into this and being content with it. Yes.
