( قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ )، وَقَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ
إِنْ كَاتَبَ وَلَا وَلَدَ لَهُ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَهُ مِنْ سَرِيَّةٍ لَهُ فَمَاتَ أَبُوهُمْ لَمْ يُوضَعْ عَنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ وَكَانُوا عَلَى كِتَابَةِ أَبِيهِمْ إِنْ شَاءُوا وَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا مُحِيَتْ كِتَابَةُ أَبِيهِمْ وَكَانُوا عَبِيدًا لَهُ كَذَا قَالُوا وَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ أَوِ الْمُكَاتَبَةُ قَبْلَ أَدَاءِ مَالِ الْكِتَابَةِ مَاتَا رَقِيقَيْنِ وَأَوْلَادُهُمَا رَقِيقٌ اسْتِدْلَالًا بِمَا مَضَى فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ أَنَّهُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ دِرْهَمٌ

If he makes a contract of emancipation (kitābah) while he has no child, and then children are born to him from his concubine, and their father dies, nothing is deducted from them, and they remain bound by their father's contract if they wish; and if they prefer, their father's contract is cancelled and they are slaves of his owner. Thus they said. But we say: when the contracted slave (mukātab), male or female, dies before paying the contract money, they die as slaves, and their children are slaves, inferring from what has preceded concerning the mukātab, that he is a slave as long as a single dirham remains owing from him.
