The inheritance and clientage of the mukatab

Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ibn Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him): What does your father (Tawus, may Allah have mercy on him) say about a man who makes a contract of manumission with a slave, then he dies, and his daughter inherits that mukatab; he pays his contract to her, then he is freed, and then he dies? He said that he would say: The wala' will belong to the daughter. I thought that no one would differ on this, and he was astonished at their saying that she has no wala'.

Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): A man died, leaving two sons and a mukatab. The mukatab then came into the share of one of them, and he paid his contract to the one who received him in the inheritance. Then the mukatab died; who will inherit from him? He said: Both of them inherit from him; and Amr bin Dinar said the same. Ata' said: His wala' returns to the one who made the contract with him. I put it to him again, and he said that more than once.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We hold the view of Ata' and Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on them both) regarding a mukatab with whom a man makes a contract, then the master dies, then the mukatab pays and is freed by the contract: his wala' belongs to the one who concluded his contract.
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He (al-Shafi'i) did not adopt his view on dividing the mukatab (among the heirs), since he had said earlier: Division is a sale, and the sale of a mukatab is not permissible.

Abd al-Malik bin Abi Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding a man who died, having a mukatab slave, and the deceased had sons and daughters: Women and men will inherit from what he (the mukatab) owes, but women inherit nothing of the wala' except of those whom they themselves contracted with or freed.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on them both) said regarding a man who makes a contract of manumission with his slave, then dies, leaving behind sons and women, and the mukatab pays his contract to them: They both said: The wala' goes only to the men, not to the women.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding a man who made a contract of manumission with his slave, and the man who made the contract died, leaving men and women: The women will receive nothing of the wala' of the mukatab, but the inheritance will be divided among the men and the women.

Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): If a man dies and leaves a mukatab, and the heirs free the mukatab, whose right is the wala'? He said: It is the right of the deceased.
