Nasai

Urdu Footnote:
➊ It is obligatory upon the ‘aqilah (i.e., the blood relatives) to pay the blood money (diyah).
➋ “Imposed blood monies” refers to the blood money (diyah) for unintentional killing (qatl khata) and quasi-intentional killing (shibh al-‘amd), which must be paid by the killer’s family. The purpose of the chapter is also this: that the blood money for unintentional or quasi-intentional killing is not solely the responsibility of the killer, but rather it is the responsibility of the entire family.
➌ “Without permission”—this restriction is for rebuke, otherwise, even with permission, one cannot be attributed to someone else, just as a person cannot make anyone other than his own father his father, even if the father gives permission. In any case, no person of sound nature would make anyone other than his own father his father, even if the father gives permission. Likewise, no person of sound nature sells or gifts a relationship, because a relationship is not something to be sold or gifted. Mawla refers both to a freed slave and to the master who freed him, and the relationship between them is called wala, which is a strong bond after blood relationship, one that is not severed even by death, to the extent that if there are no blood relatives, inheritance is also established through it. Clearly, no one would permit such a noble relationship to be changed. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said regarding this: [الولاءُ لُحمةٌ كلُحمةِ النَّسَبِ لا يُباعُ ولا يُوهَبُ] “Wala is like blood relationship; it can neither be sold nor gifted.” (Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim: 4/341) The meaning is that even if someone gives his freed slave permission, this wala relationship cannot be transferred to another Muslim. Nor is it appropriate for any Muslim to accept it. And Allah knows best.
