Chapter on Conditional Emancipation (Tadbir)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 47
وَ رَوَى جَمِيلٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُدَبَّرِ أَ يُبَاعُ قَالَ "إِنِ اِحْتَاجَ صَاحِبُهُ إِلَى ثَمَنِهِ وَ رَضِيَ اَلْمَمْلُوكُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ".
Jamil narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a mudabbar (a slave promised freedom after the owner's death). Imam عليه السلام said: "If his owner needs the price and the slave agrees, then there is no harm in selling him."
