4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from certain persons of our people who have narrated the following: “About the case of a newborn who has the reproductive organs of both male and female, one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘
Such person inherits according to the case of the organ from which the urine comes. If he urinates from the male organ he inherits the share of a male person; if she urinates from the female organ she inherits the share of a female/ This is about a newborn who does not have an organ like male or female. However, has only a hole. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said that such person inherits like a male; if it (urine) comes with a dart but if it does not reach far away then that person inherits like a female/”
4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) فِي مَوْلُودٍ لَهُ مَا لِلذُّكُورِ وَمَا لِلأنْثَى قَالَ
يُوَرَّثُ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَبُولُ إِنْ بَالَ مِنَ الذَّكَرِ وُرِّثَ مِيرَاثَ الذَّكَرِ وَإِنْ بَالَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ الأنْثَى وُرِّثَ مِيرَاثَ الأنْثَى وَعَنْ مَوْلُودٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَا لِلرِّجَالِ وَلا لَهُ مَا لِلنِّسَاءِ إِلا ثَقْبٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْبَوْلُ عَلَى أَيِّ مِيرَاثٍ يُوَرَّثُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ إِذَا بَالَ نَحَّى بِبَوْلِهِ وُرِّثَ مِيرَاثَ الذَّكَرِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لا يُنَحِّي بِبَوْلِهِ وُرِّثَ مِيرَاثَ الأنْثَى.
