The Status of Mukatab Slaves

SUMMARY: A mukatab is a slave until all of the payments for their kitaba are paid.

Malik related to me from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar said, "A mukatab is a slave as long as any of his kitaba remains to be paid".
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ الْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ شَىْءٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the status of a mukatab, which is a type of slave. A mukatab is someone who has entered into an agreement with their master to pay off their freedom in installments. Until all payments have been made, they remain as slaves and must obey their master's orders. This hadith teaches us that it is important to fulfill our obligations and keep our promises in order to be free from any debt or responsibility we may have incurred. It also reminds us that slavery still exists today and that we should strive to end it by helping those who are enslaved gain freedom through legal means such as paying off debts or providing education and employment opportunities.
