Al-Mudabbar (the Slave for whose Freedom Death of the Master is a Condition) is from One Third of the Legacy

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘ Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Al-Mudabbar is from one-third of the legacy.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who makes his slave a Mudabbar; if he can change such decision. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so because it is like the will.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-Mudabbar is from one-third of the legacy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One can change his will about one-third of his legacy regardless of whether one is ill or in good health.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Mudabbar. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is like will which one can change in whatever way one likes.’”
