What is the ruling regarding the compensation owed if a slave commits multiple offenses before any are redeemed?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Freeing Mothers of Children
Primary text
If all offenses occur before the redemption of any part, the compensation (arsh) for all offenses attaches to her neck. The master owes either her full value or the total sum of all compensations, whichever is less. The injured parties share the required compensation proportionally. If the master satisfies the full amount, they receive their shares; otherwise, they share proportionally based on the compensation due for their respective injuries.
