Those who permitted gifting wala

Amr said that Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave the wala' of Sulayman bin Yasar as a gift to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Mansur said: I asked Ibrahim: If a man frees another man, can the freed man establish a wala' tie with someone else? He said: No, he cannot do that, unless the one who freed him gives that wala' as a gift, in which case it is fine.

Abu Bakr bin Amr bin Hazm said that a woman from the settlement of Muharib gave her slave's wala' to the slave himself and freed him. The slave then freed himself and gave himself to Abd al-Rahman bin Amr bin Hazm. Then the woman died, and her mawali brought the case before Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for testimony on what he said. He brought the testimony, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Go and establish a wala' tie with whomever you wish. So he established a wala' tie with Abd al-Rahman bin Amr bin Hazm.

Ibrahim and al-Sha'bi said that there is no harm in selling the wala' of a sa'ibah (a wala' in which the master says to his slave: Go, no one has wala' over you) or in giving it as a gift.

Qatadah said: A woman gifted the wala' of her slaves to her husband. Hisham bin Hubayrah said: I consider this wala' valid for her husband as long as he lives; when he dies, this wala' will return to the woman's heirs.
