Hadith 44
۞
Hadith.3464 - Abdullah ibn Sinan asked him about a woman who freed one-third of her servant at the time of her death.
He asked: "Are her heirs required to enter into a mukataba (a contract of emancipation in exchange for payment) with the servant if they wish, or can they refuse?"
Imam (as) said: "No, but the servant owns one-third of herself, and the heirs own two-thirds. The heirs may use her services in proportion to their share, and she has freedom over herself in proportion to the part that was freed."
3464 - وَ سَأَلَهُ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ : عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ أَعْتَقَتْ ثُلُثَ خَادِمِهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهَا أَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا أَنْ يُكَاتِبُوهَا إِنْ شَاءُوا وَ إِنْ أَبَوْا قَالَ
"لاَ وَ لَكِنْ لَهَا مِنْ نَفْسِهَا ثُلُثُهَا وَ لِلْوَارِثِ ثُلُثَاهَا يَسْتَخْدِمُهَا بِحِسَابِ اَلَّذِي لَهُ مِنْهَا وَ يَكُونُ لَهَا مِنْ نَفْسِهَا بِحِسَابِ مَا أُعْتِقَ مِنْهَا".
