Hazrat Sha'bi says that if someone says, "The day I buy so-and-so, he will be free," and then he buys him, then he will become free.

Ibrahim says that if a person says, "I have bought this slave, so he is free," and then he buys him, then he will become free.

Hazrat Ata says that if a person says, "The day I purchase so-and-so, he will be free," then whichever day he purchases him, he will become free.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Rifaa that a person was told, "You intend to sell such-and-such slave-girl." That person said: "If I sell her, then she is free." Hazrat Abdullah thought that Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib was asked about this. He said: "In any case, I do not see any harm in it." And Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz used to prohibit this.

Hazrat Qasim and Hazrat Salim did not grant anyone respite in matters of divorce and emancipation.
