Malik said, "Neither a free man nor a slave who divorces a slave-
girl nor a slave who divorces a free woman, in an irrevocable divorce,
is obliged to pay maintenance even if she is pregnant, and he cannot
return to her."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "If a man gives his slave permission to marry, the divorce is in
the hand of the slave, and nobody else has any power over his divorce.
Nothing is held against a man who takes the slave-girl of his male
slave or the slave-girl of his female-slave."
