Commentary for Kiddushin 45:9
הכא נמי האי כספא לחוד והאי כספא לחוד טיבעא מיהא חד הוא
Yet money is different: since he [the master] may acquire him [the slave] against his will, he can liberate him<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'give him possession' - of himself.');"><sup>8</sup></span> against his will.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
If a slave can be freed against his will through money, then why not also through a document accepted by others? Just as he is bought against his will with a document, so he can also be set free against his will with a document.
The answer is that these are different documents. And if you argue that the money used to acquire him is also different from the money used to purchase his freedom, we can answer that money is money. It is all stamped the same way.
