[Machine] During the Mamluk era, a free person (usually a slave) would be under the authority of their master. "If a child is freed, they are considered to be free because their mother is freed. When the father is freed, the child follows their status."
عُمَرُ فِي الْمَمْلُوكِ يَكُونُ تَحْتَهُ الْحُرَّةُ «يُعْتَقُ الْوَلَدُ بِعِتْقِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا عُتِقَ الْأَبُ جَرَّ الْوَلَاءَ»
