Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, it is necessary for him to grant complete freedom to the slave from his own wealth. But if he does not have enough wealth, then the value of the slave should be assessed justly, and then the slave should be told to earn and pay the price of the remaining share himself in his effort for freedom, but no pressure should be put on the slave for this.
