Muwatta MalikHadith Number 63
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ «لَيْسَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فِي عَبِيدِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَلَا فِي أَجِيرِهِ، وَلَا فِي رَقِيقِ امْرَأَتِهِ، زَكَاةٌ. إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ يَخْدِمُهُ، وَلَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهُ. فَتَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ فِي أَحَدٍ مِنْ رَقِيقِهِ الْكَافِرِ، مَا لَمْ يُسْلِمْ لِتِجَارَةٍ كَانُوا، أَوْ لِغَيْرِ تِجَارَةٍ»
Malik Narrated from:
A man does not have to pay zakat for the slaves of his slaves, or for some one employed by him, or for his wife's slaves, except for anyone who serves him and whose services are indispensable to him, in which case he must pay zakat. He does not have to pay zakat for any of his slaves that are kafir and have not become muslim, whether they be for trade or otherwise.
