Summary
Malik said: the practice among us is that a master is not obliged to contract with his slave when the slave asks him for it, and it is not known that any of the leaders forced a man to contract with his slave. Malik heard some scholars cite a verse in Surat al-Nur to show it is recommended, and cite two verses in Surat al-Ma'ida and al-Jumu'a, and say: the matter is permitted to people by God, and is not obligatory. 1
