Home Hadith Hadith 34918
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
al-Musayyab and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked whether, when a man
married a slave of his to a slave-girl and the slave divorced her
irrevocably, and then her master gave her to the slave, she was then
halal for the slave by the possession of the right hand. They said,
"No. She is not halal until she has married another husband."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 33

Rahman that Zayd ibn Thabit said that if a man divorced his slave-girl
three times and then bought her, she was not halal for him until she
had married another husband.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
a man who had a slave-girl as a wife, and then he bought her, and
divorced her once. He said, "She is halal for him by the possession of
the right hand as long as he does not make his divorce irrevocable. If
he irrevocably divorces her, she is not halal for him by the
possession of the right hand until she has married another husband."
