If a partner manumits their share in a slave before the *Mudabbar* dies, while the *Mudabbar* is wealthy, does this manumission extend to the share designated for *Tadbir*?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Tadbir (Deferred Emancipation)
Primary text
If a partner manumits their share while the master (the other partner) is wealthy, the share is manumitted, and this manumission propagates to the share designated for *Tadbir*. The evidence is the statement of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Whoever frees a share he owns in a slave, if what he owns reaches the value of the slave, he shall be valued accordingly, and his partners shall receive their shares, otherwise, only the freed part is freed." Furthermore, if manumission can propagate to invalidate ownership, which is stronger than the claim of *Walaa'* (allegiance), then it should certainly apply to *Walaa'*.

Al-Qadi and Abu Al-Khattab hold two opinions on this matter, and Al-Shafi'i has two opinions, one aligning with the primary view here, and the second stating the manumission does not propagate. The latter view is attributed to Abu Hanifa, based on the reasoning that the *Mudabbar* has already earned the right of *Walaa'* upon the master's death, and the other partner cannot nullify it.
