What is the ruling on unconditional manumission contingent upon death (Tadbir Mutlaq)?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Tadbir (Deferred Emancipation)
Primary text
Unconditional manumission contingent upon death is permissible. This occurs when manumission is tied to the master's death without any other conditions, such as saying, 'You are free after my death.' This is valid and establishes the status of Tadbir (a contingent manumission agreement).
