the deceived person, and he is not liable for his value, because she gave birth to him while he was in his possession.

Section: He has no right to have intercourse with her daughter, because she is dependent upon her mother and is detained along with her, so having intercourse with her is not permitted, just as it is not with her mother. This is not permitted through a condition either, because the ruling of kitabah is established in her as a consequence, and her intercourse was not permitted at the time of the contract by its condition. If he has intercourse with her, there is no hadd punishment upon him, because she is his property, but he commits a sin and is subject to disciplinary punishment (ta'zir), because he had intercourse with a forbidden private part. She is entitled to a dower; its ruling is the ruling of her earnings, which belongs to her mother to assist her in her kitabah, because that is the cause of her freedom. If he impregnates her, she becomes an umm walad for him, and the child is free, because he made her pregnant with a free person within his possession, his lineage is attributed to him, and he is not liable for her value because her mother does not own her, nor is he liable for the value of her child because she gave birth to him while he was in his possession.

He is not liable for the value of the child, because she gave birth to him while he was in his possession. It is possible that he is liable for his value, because he removed him through his intercourse from being owned by her master, so he resembles the child of the deceived person.

Section: He has no right to compel his mukatabah, nor her daughter, nor her slave girl to marry, because his ownership regarding her benefit, the benefit of her private parts, and their compensation has ceased due to the kitabah contract. Neither of them has the right to marry without his permission, because there is harm upon him in that; for it establishes for the husband a right in her, and she might become unable to pay and return to him in a state where he does not have the right to have intercourse with her. If they agree to that, it is permissible, because the right does not depart from them, and he is
