Abu Salamah and Sa'id bin al-Musayyib say regarding a man who makes his slave a mukatab (contracted for freedom) and then dies, leaving behind male and female children, that the wealth will be divided among them according to their shares, and the wala' (right of inheritance from the freed slave) will be for the men, not for the women.

Muammar narrates from Zuhri that a woman freed Salim, so he established a bond of allegiance (wala’) with Abu Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he adopted him as his son. Then Salim passed away, and his inheritance was given to that woman.
