(Check the original text in Arabic ...)

As for the slave, people are of three schools of thought regarding him. Whoever says that there is no zakat on his money at all because he does not own it completely, since the master has taken it away, and the master does not own it completely either because the slave’s hand is the one who disposes of it. Therefore, there is no zakat on the slave’s money, and a group said that zakat is on the slave’s money. On his master because he has the right to seize it from him. A group said that zakat is due on the slave on his money, because taking possession of the money requires zakat on it because of the place in which it is spent, likening it to the disposal of a free man. Our sheikh and the majority of those who said that there is no zakat on the slave’s money said that there is no zakat on the money of the mukatib until he is emancipated. Abu Thawr said on the money What I say is zakat, and what I say is that the matter is not free either if he sees that zakat is a right on the money
