Q
What considerations should be taken into account to ensure a slave is not overburdened with work while earning their freedom?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, it is essential for him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money. Otherwise he should look for some work for
the slave (to earn what would enable him to emancipate himself), without overburdening him with
work.”
