The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning it is permissible to sell a mukatab, even if he still owes one dirham out of a thousand.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, the buyer must be informed that he is a mukatab; this is necessary. The buyer takes the place of the seller, so if the slave pays off the debt while in the buyer's ownership, his manumission belongs to the buyer.
