Hazrat Ja'd bin Zakwān (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I was present in the service of Qazi Shurayh; he declared this sale permissible.

Hazrat Masruq disliked this type of sale, and said that one should say: I have bought for such and such amount and I sell for such and such amount.

Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) considered this to be disliked, and Hazrat Ikrimah says that this is forbidden.

22949 - And Ikrimah said: It is forbidden.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that this is usury.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The slave woman who gives birth to a child by her master becomes free after his death.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought my advice regarding the sale of an umm walad (a slave woman who has borne her master's child). Both my opinion and his were that when the umm walad gives birth to a child, she should be set free after the master's death. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his verdict on this during his lifetime, and after him, Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave the same verdict. Then, when I became the leader of the believers after them, I thought it better to keep her as a slave. Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Hazrat Ibn Sirin narrated to me that I asked Hazrat Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him), "What is your opinion?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I prefer the opinion that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar held together in consultation with the companions, more than the opinion Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) adopted at the time of differing views."

22953 - Al-Sha'bi said: Ibn Sirin narrated to me, he said: (I said to Ubaidah: What do you think?) (1) He said: The opinion of Umar and Ali in the congregation is more beloved to me than the statement of Ali when he realized in (disagreement) (2) (3).

It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that two persons from among the people of Iraq asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) at the place of Al-Abwa. They said, "We left Ibn Zubair in Makkah in the condition that he was selling Umm Walad (a slave woman who has borne a child to her master)." Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "But do you know Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'A slave woman who bears a child to her master is a source of benefit for him during his lifetime, and after his death, she is free. And whoever has intercourse with a slave woman and she miscarries, and the child is his, then the burden of causing the miscarriage is upon him.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person died in the neighborhood, and he had an umm walad (a slave woman who had borne him a child). Hazrat Walid bin Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sell her. We went to Hazrat Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about it. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you definitely want to do so, then include this slave woman in the share of her son.
