باب مَا لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنَ الْوَلاَءِ:Chapter on women's share of wala'
Hadith 3175
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ: فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَيَتْرُكُ مُكَاتَبًا، وَلَهُ بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ، أَيَكُونُ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْ الْوَلَاءِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ: "تَرِثُ النِّسَاءُ مِمَّا عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ، وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِلرِّجَالِ دُونَ النِّسَاءِ، إِلَّا مَا كَاتَبْنَ، أَوْ أَعْتَقْنَ".
Abdul Malik narrated, from Ata: A man who, after his death, leaves behind only a mukatab slave (a slave whose freedom is set for a specified amount) and has sons and daughters—will the women have any share in the inheritance from the slave? Ata said: The women will have a share from the amount that remains to be paid according to the mukataba, and the wala’ (right of inheritance) will be only for the men, not for the women, except for the amount they have specified or have freed.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 3174)
The meaning is that if a woman enters into a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with her slave, stipulating a fixed amount of money that, upon payment, will grant him freedom, then it is permissible for the woman to take this amount. Or, if the woman frees the slave, then the right of wala’ (allegiance) will belong to the woman, just as is mentioned in the hadith of Barirah: the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Sayyidah Aisha (radi Allahu anha): "You buy her and set her free," «الولاء لمن اعتق.». Its details have already been discussed in «كتاب البيوع، باب النهي عن بيع الولاء».
