What is Abu Hanifa's position on a child born to a bequeathed slave after the testator's death?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Bequests
Primary text
Abu Hanifa holds that if the child is born after the testator's death, the child enters into the bequest in all circumstances because the bequest is established and binding upon death, necessitating its extension to the child, similar to legal establishment of parentage (*istīlād*).
Supporting text
The counterargument is that the child is a separate, subsequent addition after the contract of bequest, and thus should not be included, similar to acquired earnings. This differs from *istīlād* because the latter has precedence and extension.
