Summary
Malik said: the matter on which there is no dispute among us is that when a contract slave is wounded in a way that carries blood-money, or one of the contract slave's children who are under the contract is harmed, their blood-money is the same as that of slaves in their value. What is taken for their blood-money is paid to their master who holds the contract, and this is counted for the contract slave at the end of his contract and remitted from him. Malik gives an example: a contract slave for three thousand dirhams, and the blood-money of the wound that the master took is one thousand dirhams. 1
