Question 1862) - Explain Walaul Mawalah and its regulation.

A: When a man embraces lslaam on the hands of another and establishes Wala with him whereby the second man will inherit from him and pay any blood money that may arise; or if he establishes the Wala with one besides the man on whose hands he had embraced Islaam then the Wala is valid and the Mawla is liable for the blood money. If the man dies without heirs the Mawla inherits from him. If there is an heir, the heir is more entitled than the Mawla.
