Note 1
(1) The statement: “If a man’s slave woman bears, etc.”: For this reason, it is stated in the commentary of Al-Wiqayah and Al-Mirqat: A slave woman who bears a child from her master or husband, if owned by him, becomes an umm walad. Her ruling is like a promised slave, except she is freed upon the master’s death from all his wealth, and she does not work for his debt. This is the view of the majority of Companions, Successors, and jurists.
