When did Meccan authorities most recently recognize a slave owner's "property rights" in a slave?

Does it matter? Why does it matter or why does it not matter?

I presume that Meccan authorities don't recognize a slave owner's "property rights" in a slave.

1. Mecca controlled by the Saudis -- SA abolished slavery in 1962.

It was long something of an embarassment that SA did not have a formal law outlawing slavery, although the Saudis claimed there was no slavery in the kingdom. As you might imagine, this topic is both sensitive and controversial.

2. Is there any surviving record of a court case in Saudia Arabia...

that was decided by the court in favor of a slave-owning plaintiff or defendant who was trying to enforce his "property rights" in a slave?

3. More detail than I'm familiar with, sorry.

I try to answer the stuff I know and fake a little more, but my powers are not unlimited.

4. I don't expect or desire that you fake it.
