Any child she subsequently bears enjoys the same ruling, yet he is not emancipated by her manumission, nor by her death that precedes the master’s; his freedom takes effect only upon the master’s own death.

If the master dies while she is pregnant, her maintenance for the full term of pregnancy¹ is to be taken from his estate; if the estate proves insufficient, the obligation shifts to his heir.

Whenever the umm al-walad commits an offense that incurs financial liability, the master² must ransom her with whichever is less: the statutory indemnity or her market value on the day the ransom is paid.

Should several indemnities accumulate before any of them is paid, they all attach to her person. The master is answerable only for the lesser of the combined indemnities or her value, and the claimants receive their shares in proportion to their respective entitlements.

If an umm al-walad owned by a non-Muslim embraces Islam, he is forbidden to have intercourse with her, is separated from her, and is compelled to provide her maintenance if she lacks the means to support herself.

If he later embraces Islam, she once again becomes lawful for him; but should he die while still a disbeliever, she is set free.
