“I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying, ‘Women do not inherit from the land or the house anything, however, they can have their share from the value of bricks and wood.’ He (the narrator) has said that I said to him (the Imam), ‘People do not follow it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When we become in authority, we will whip them, and if they will not desist we will use sword against them.’”

Hadith 387
11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban al-Ahmar who has said that I do not know it except from Muyassir Bayya’ al-Zuttiy who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of women and their share of inheritance. He (the Imam) said, ‘They can have their share from the value of bricks, building, wood and reeds, but they cannot inherit land and real property.’ I asked about clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘They can inherit from clothes.’ I then asked, ‘How is it that for this is the value and for this is the defined land?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because women do not have their lineage whereby they can inherit. She is an addition on them. It is also because when she gets married and brings her husband or children from another people, it can cause trouble for the heirs.’”
11- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الأحْمَرِ قَالَ
لا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلا عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ بَيَّاعِ الزُّطِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ قَالَ لَهُنَّ قِيمَةُ الطُّوبِ وَالْبِنَاءِ وَالْخَشَبِ وَالْقَصَبِ وَأَمَّا الأرْضُ وَالْعَقَارَاتُ فَلا مِيرَاثَ لَهُنَّ فِيهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالثِّيَابُ قَالَ الثِّيَابُ لَهُنَّ نَصِيبُهُنَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ صَارَ ذَا وَلِهَذِهِ الثُّمُنُ وَلِهَذِهِ الرُّبُعُ مُسَمًّى قَالَ لأنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَيْسَ لَهَا نَسَبٌ تَرِثُ بِهِ وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ دَخِيلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَإِنَّمَا صَارَ هَذَا كَذَا كَيْلا تَتَزَوَّجَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَيَجِي‏ءَ زَوْجُهَا أَوْ وَلَدُهَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ فَيُزَاحِمَ قَوْماً فِي عَقَارِهِمْ.
