Which takes precedence: Tadbir or a bequest (Wasiyyah) for manumission?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Tadbir (Deferred Emancipation)
Primary text
Tadbir and a bequest for manumission are considered equal in precedence. This is because both acts result in manumission taking effect after death.
Supporting text
A differing view suggests that Tadbir should take precedence because the establishment of freedom occurs at the moment of death, whereas the bequest requires a subsequent act of emancipation after death.
