. قَالَ مَالِك : الْأَمْرُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا فِي وَلَدِ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ وَأَبُو الْعَبْدِ حُرٌّ، أَنَّ الْجَدَّ أَبَا الْعَبْدِ يَجُرُّ وَلَاءَ وَلَدِ ابْنِهِ الْأَحْرَارِ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ، يَرِثُهُمْ مَا دَامَ أَبُوهُمْ عَبْدًا، فَإِنْ عَتَقَ أَبُوهُمْ رَجَعَ الْوَلَاءُ إِلَى مَوَالِيهِ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ عَبْدٌ كَانَ الْمِيرَاثُ وَالْوَلَاءُ لِلْجَدِّ، وَإِنِ الْعَبْدُ كَانَ لَهُ ابْنَانِ حُرَّانِ فَمَاتَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَأَبُوهُ عَبْدٌ جَرَّ الْجَدُّ أَبُو الْأَبِ الْوَلَاءَ وَالْمِيرَاثَ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a slave has children from a free woman and the slave’s father is free, then the grandfather will be the owner of the wala’ of his grandson, as long as the father remains a slave. When the father becomes free, the wala’ will go to his mawali. If the father dies while still a slave, then the inheritance and wala’ will go to the grandfather. If one of the two free sons of this slave dies and their father is a slave, then the wala’ and inheritance will go to their grandfather.
