أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَضَى أَنَّ خَرَاجَ الْعَبْدِ بِضَمَانِهِ .
Kharaj al-abd bi-damanihi is a legal maxim linking the benefit or yield of an enslaved person to the party bearing liability for him.
Does “yield ... belongs to the one who bears his liability” convey the maxim without adding a specific kind of income?
