Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 428عمدة الأحكام 428
عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - عن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال: «من أعتق شقصا من مملوك، فعليه خلاصه كله في ماله، فإن لم يكن له مال قوم المملوك قيمة عدل، ثم استسعي العبد، غير مشقوق عليه».
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative for him to get that slave manumitted completely by paying the remaining price, and if he does not have sufficient money to manumit him, then the price of the slave should be estimated justly, and he is to be allowed to work and earn the amount that will manumit him (without overburdening him)".
