Status of the Mukatab if he completes payment to the second master after invalid payment to the first.
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Mukātaba (Contractual Manumission)
Primary text
If the non-receiving master does not reclaim his share, and the Mukatab subsequently pays the second master, then both masters free him. If the slave dies before the second master receives his due, he dies a slave. The non-receiving master then collects his share from the remaining earnings, and any remainder is divided between the two masters.
