Qatadah narrates that a woman gifted the wala’ (right of inheritance) of her freed slaves to her husband, so Hisham bin Hubairah said: In my opinion, it belongs to her husband as long as he is alive; when he dies, I will return it to the heirs of the woman.

Ibrahim says that there is no harm if a person makes a contract of allegiance (muwalat) with another person, provided that the patron (mawla) has given permission.

Sa'id narrates from Qatadah, and at one place I found this narration from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, that they did not see any harm in selling the right of wala' when it belonged to the mukatib. And they disliked it in the case when it was in the form of freedom.

Mansur narrates that I asked Ibrahim about selling of wala’, so he said that it is an innovation (bid’ah).

Ibrahim, through another chain of narration, states: Women do not inherit Wala’, except those whom they have set free.

Zakariya narrates that I heard Hazrat Amir saying about the woman who passed away, leaving behind three sons and two daughters, and one of the daughters was absent in the evening while the other was present with her. She thought that the absent daughter had some wealth with her, and she said to her sons, "I want you to search for the wealth that is with her, in exchange for what she will receive from the inheritance." They said, "Yes!" And she said, "I want to give her share of the inheritance to her sister, so that she receives as much wealth as a man receives." They said, "Alright." Then, after the inheritance was distributed, her daughter came and demanded her share of the inheritance. She said, "I have no wealth for her." So Ibrahim said, "An equal share will be taken from each person and given to her." And Hazrat Amir said, "Out of the two shares that the girl took, one share will be taken and returned to her sister, so that each receives one share and each man receives two shares."

Adham Sudosi narrates from some men of his tribe that a woman died and she was a Muslim, and she left behind her Christian mother. Then her mother accepted Islam before the daughter's inheritance was distributed. So the heirs came to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "She has no share in the inheritance." Then he asked, "How much wealth did she leave behind?" When they informed him, he said, "Give her something from it."

Saeed bin Musayyib says that when a deceased person dies, his inheritance should be given to his family members.

Ibrahim says that whoever is freed at the time of death or accepts Islam at the time of death, neither of them has any right, because rights become obligatory at the time of death.

Husain narrates that I saw an old man who was leaning on a staff. People told me that he is the heir of Hazrat Safiyyah; he accepted Islam at the time of her inheritance, so he was not given any share of the inheritance.
