The right of a slave to be emancipated confers upon him/her a juridical status distinct from that of the free person or the actual slave. Both before the manumission is carried out as well as after, the liberated slave has certain rights and obligations, regulated by Islamic Law, that accord with his/her new juridical status: umm walad, mukātab, mudahbar, mawlà, etc. These rights and obligations inform and delimit one's way of relating to other individuals, of forming groups, and, especially, of integrating oneself into society. Using medieval Mālikī legal texts, this article analyzes some of the consequences of manumission concerning the liberated slave's capacity to act and work. It argues that liberated slaves acquire diverse intermediate statuses between outright slavery and absolute freedom.
