[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»  

[Machine] Umar said, "If a free woman is under the ownership of a slave and she gives birth to a child, then the child is considered free as the mother is free, and the allegiance of the child belongs to the allies of the mother. But if the father sets the child free, then the allegiance goes to the allies of the father. This also applies if it is narrated that Umar said so."  

قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْحُرَّةُ تَحْتَ الْمَمْلُوكِ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ وَلَدًا فَإِنَّهُ يَعْتِقُ بِعِتْقِ أُمِّهِ وَوَلَاؤُهُ لِمَوَالِي أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا أَعْتَقَ الْأَبُ جَرَّ الْوَلَاءَ إِلَى مَوَالِي أَبِيهِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَوْصُولًا عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ  

[Machine] If a free woman marries a male slave, and she gives birth, their children will be freed by her freedom, and their loyalty will be to their mother's master. But if the father is freed, the loyalty will follow him.  

إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الْمَمْلُوكُ الْحُرَّةَ فَوَلَدَتْ فَوَلَدُهَا يُعْتَقُونَ بِعِتْقِهَا وَيَكُونُ وَلَاؤُهُمْ لِمَوْلَى أُمِّهِمْ فَإِذَا أَعْتَقَ الْأَبُ جَرَّ الْوَلَاءَ  

"عَن عمر قال: إذا كانت الحُرَّةُ تحتَ المملوكِ فولدت له ولدًا فإنه يُعْتَقُ بِعِتْق أُمِّه وَولَاؤُه لِموَالى أُمِّه، فَإذا أُعْتِق الأب جُرَّ الولاءُ إلى موالِى أبيه".
