Chapter on the Contract of Manumission (Mukataba)

Jamil ibn Darraj narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation) who dies after having paid part of his contract. He had a son from his bondwoman and left behind wealth. Imam عليه السلام said: "His son shall pay the remaining amount of the contract, be freed, and inherit what remains."
