Inheritance is established for the child determined by lot, as his freedom stems from his father's declaration. Therefore, he inherits, similar to when the father specifically names him in his declaration.

Al-Shafi'i agrees with the establishment of freedom through lot drawing but holds that inheritance is not established through this method.
