and from below, and each of them inherits from the other by virtue of wala', and just as it is permitted for them to share in lineage—such that each of them inherits from the other by it—likewise is the case for wala'. If the son of a freed slave woman marries a freed slave woman and she bears him a child, and he buys his grandfather, he becomes free through him, and he possesses his wala', and he draws to himself the wala' of his father and the rest of his grandfather's children, who are his paternal uncles and aunts, as well as the wala' of all their freedmen; the wala' of the purchaser remains for the master of his mother. According to the opinion of 'Amr ibn Dinar, he remains free, with no wala' upon him.

Section: If a slave marries a freed slave woman (30) and she bears him a child (31), and the child marries the freed slave woman of a man, and she bears him a child, the wala' of this latter child belongs to the master of his mother in one of the two views; because he possesses the wala' over his father, so the wala' (32) belongs to him over him, just as if he were the master of his grandfather.

Section: If a freed slave marries a freed slave woman and she bears him a daughter, and a slave marries a freed slave woman and she bears him a son, and this son marries the daughter of the two freed slaves, and she bears him a child, the wala' of this child belongs to the master of his mother's father; because he has the wala' over his father. If the daughter of the two freed slaves (34) marries a slave, the wala' of her child belongs to the master of her father; because her wala' belongs to him. If her father was the son of a slave and a freed slave woman, then the wala' belongs to the master of the mother of the father's mother, according to the first view; because the master of the mother of the father's mother establishes the wala' over the father's mother, so it was prioritized
