Under what specific conditions may a master refuse to accept early payment for manumission?

Primary text

The obligation of the master to accept early payment is conditional. Acceptance is not required if receiving the payment prematurely involves a recognized harm (Darar) not stipulated in the contract. This occurs if the payment involves items that spoil quickly, such as grapes, fresh dates, or melons, or if the item is perishable, like livestock, where the objective (obtaining the full agreed value) might be lost before the due date. Similarly, if the item depreciates in value between the early payment date and the maturity date, or if it requires storage costs, such as grain or cotton, acceptance is not required due to the resulting expense. Furthermore, if the location where the payment is tendered is dangerous (Makhoof) and prone to robbery, or if delivering it involves a dangerous route or a place detrimental to the recipient, the master is not obligated to accept it, and manumission is not effected by the mere tender.
