Sunan Ibn Majah 2520 (Book 19, Hadith 9) #31874
Veiling for Mukatab Women

SUMMARY: Women should veil themselves from their Mukatab if he has enough wealth to pay off his contract of manumission.

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet said: "If anyone of you (women) has a Mukatab, and he has enough (wealth) to pay off (his contact of manumission), she must veil herself from him".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ نَبْهَانَ، - مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ - عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ لإِحْدَاكُنَّ مُكَاتَبٌ وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي فَلْتَحْتَجِبْ مِنْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of veiling for women who have a Mukatab. A Mukatab is someone who has entered into a contract of manumission with their master and has enough wealth to pay off the contract. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed that these women should veil themselves from their former masters in order to maintain modesty and respectability. This hadith teaches us that even after a person's freedom is secured through manumission, they must still observe proper etiquette and modesty when interacting with those who were once their masters. It also serves as an important reminder that we must always strive to uphold our dignity and respectability in all our interactions regardless of our past or present circumstances.
