Umar bin Mu'tib narrates that Abu Hasan, the freed slave of Abu Nawfal, asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) about this issue: If a slave has a slave woman in his marriage and he divorces her twice and then sets her free, can he send her a marriage proposal again? He replied: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has given a ruling about this.
