Transliteration:( Fakku raqabah )
13. To free one's slave, or to emancipate the slaves of others, or to free the schools in exchange of writings, or free the debtor of his debt, or free the oppressed prisoner from captivity, or relieve the afflicted person of his hardships. All these are included in it. The Sufi sages say that to free the heart from the captivity of the baser self, to distance oneself from the complications of the world, freeing oneself from the fire of Hell by doing pious deeds, too, is included in this. If fasts and Salaah, etc. have been left under the responsibility of the deceased believer, then freeing him from the captivity of the Hereafter by paying compensation for them is included in it.
