I did, I'm not missing anything.
No, it isn't. Your point has not been made correctly. They have to pay an uncertain amount of work or money to 'earn' their freedom. That is what the deed is.
Slaves may only earn money if allowed by their masters, and the money then at least partially goes to the masters.
(I did, I'm not missing anything.)
yes you did
(No, it isn't. Your point has not been made correctly. They have to pay an uncertain amount of work or money to 'earn' their freedom. That is what the deed is.)
this here is where your argument will be debunked
(It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said:
"The Messenger of Allah said: '
Whoever sets free his share of a slave, and he has
sufficient wealth to
set him free completely by paying the price of the slave, then he should
set him free with his own wealth."'
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِرْكًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ ثَمَنَهُ بِقِيمَةِ الْعَبْدِ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ مِنْ مَالِهِ " .

YOU see?
it says that the master must pay the money to set him free NOT the slave himself
Not to mention
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Set free the captives and accept invitations."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " فُكُّوا الْعَانِيَ وَأَجِيبُوا الدَّاعِيَ ".

EVEN saddiyah didn't have to pay a single cent the prophet himself from his own money did
Sunan Ibn Majah
It was narrated from 'Aishah:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set Safiyyah free, and made her ransom her dowry, and he married her.
حَدَّثَنَا حُبَيْشُ بْنُ مُبَشِّرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، . أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَعْتَقَ صَفِيَّةَ وَجَعَلَ عِتْقَهَا صَدَاقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا .

I'm sorry but your argument that the slave is the one that has to pay the price simple is invalid as i showed
the evidence that shows islam commanded to set free the slaves is overwhelming it's one of the reasons why i returned to islam after i left it
