A man who commits an offence and has no patron

Sa'd bin Ibrahim said: Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): A man has died among us who has neither a relative nor a guardian. Sayyiduna Umar wrote back to him: If he has left a relative, the relative has the right; otherwise his patrons; and if there are none, the public treasury will inherit from him and will pay blood money on his behalf.

Al-Sha'bi and al-Hasan al-Basri, concerning a man who embraced Islam and has no patron (mawla): both of them said: His inheritance goes to the Muslims, and his blood money is also due from them.

And it is reported from Yunus, concerning a man who embraces Islam and has no patron (mawla), that al-Hasan al-Basri and al-Sha'bi both said: His inheritance goes to the Muslims, and his blood money is also due from them.

Mansur said that Ibrahim said: When a man accepts Islam at the hand of another man, that man receives his inheritance and that same man pays blood money on his behalf.
