Chapter on the Contract of Manumission (Mukataba)
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُكَاتَبِ فَقَالَ "يَجُوزُ عَلَيْهِ مَا شَرَطْتَ عَلَيْهِ ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation). Imam عليه السلام said: "What you have stipulated upon him is binding."
