Continuation of the reading from al-Nawawi’s commentary on Sahih Muslim.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: “That slavery applies to the Arabs just as it applies to the non-Arabs, and that if they are polytheists and are captured, it is permissible to enslave them, because Banu al-Mustaliq are pure Arabs from Khuzaa’ah, and they were enslaved, their captives were taken as wives, their sale was permitted, and their ransoms were taken. This is what Malik and al-Shafi’i said in his correct, later view, and the majority of scholars. Abu Hanifah and al-Shafi’i in his earlier view said: Slavery does not apply to them because of their nobility. And Allah knows best.”
The Shaykh : The correct view is that it applies to them, and that the texts are general.
