Is the master obliged to pay anything to the Mukatab under an invalid contract?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Mukātaba (Contractual Manumission)
Primary text
The master is not obligated to give anything to the Mukatab under an invalid contract because manumission here is established by a pure condition, resembling the case where one states, 'If you pay me a thousand, you are free.'
