Primary text

If the master of the *Mudabbar* is killed, the ruling of the *Istīlād* (if applicable) is not nullified, and the slave cannot be sold. The *Mudabbar* is different from this ruling. If the *Mudabbar* dies, their share is manumitted provided it falls within the first third (*thuluth*) of the estate.

Regarding whether the manumission extends to the co-owner's share if the co-owner is wealthy, there are two narrations mentioned by Al-Khirqi in other contexts.
