Setting Free and Wala'
Da‘if (weak)« Mauquf Daif » by Salim al-Hilali
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ رَقَبَةٌ هَلْ يُعْتِقُ فِيهَا ابْنَ زِنًا فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ نَعَمْ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ .
Malik related to me that he had heard that al-Maqburi said that Abu Hurayra was asked whether a man who had to free a slave, could free an illegitimate child to fulfil that obligation. Abu Hurayra said, "Yes. That will give satisfaction for him• Al-Maqbouri a rapporté qu'on demanda Abou Houraira, au sujet de l'homme qui a un esclave à affranchir, pourra-t-il affranchir un esclave adultérin»? Abou Houraira répondit: «oui, certainement, et cela lui sera considéré une libération»Grades given by scholars
