Chapter 9: The Excellence of Freeing Slaves, Freeing Adulteresses and Illegitimate Children

Muwatta Malik 1582

Malik related to me from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar freed an illegitimate child and its mother.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ أَعْتَقَ وَلَدَ زِنًا وَأُمَّهُ ‏.‏
