[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will try to help you. ONCE AGAIN here's the entire section from the link:
Slave rights to freedom

"Islamic law allows slaves to get their freedom under certain circumstances. It divides slaves with the right to freedom into various classes:

The mukatab: a slave who has the contractual right to buy their freedom over time
The mudabbar: a slave who will be freed when their owner dies (this might not happen if the owner's estate was too small)
The umm walid: a female slave who had borne her owner a child"

The above are the THREE conditions for freedom. The last one is when the slave becomes pregnant. [/quote]

Not according to the source you quoted. This is what your source says:

Pay close attention, again - this is from the link you posted,

"Being a concubine did have some benefits: if a slave woman gave birth to her owner's child, her status improved dramatically - she could not be sold or given away, and when her owner died she became free. The child was also free and would inherit from their father as any other children."

There are no sources that say freedom came upon pregnancy. [/quote]
