Is it permissible for a master to rent out his contractually manumitted slave (*mukataba*)?
General Chapter

Book of Leasing
Primary text
It is not permissible for the master to rent out his *mukataba* because her usufruct belongs to her. Consequently, the master does not have the right to marry her off, have intercourse with her, or rent her out for anything other than nursing.

However, she herself has the right to rent out her services because this falls under the means of acquisition/earning for her.
