Primary text

If some portion of the required Istibra' time elapsed before her manumission, she must complete the remaining time afterward. It is not obligatory for her to start a new Istibra' period from the beginning, because the requirement for Istibra' was established by the purchase, not by the emancipation, thus the count begins from when its cause became effective.
