Hadith 515
۞
Hadith.5486 - Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubaid narrated from his brother Ja'far bin Isa bin Ubaid, from Ali bin Yaqtin, who said
I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about a man who appointed a woman as his executor and included a child with her in the will.
Imam (as) said: "This is permissible. The woman should carry out the will and does not need to wait for the child to reach maturity. However, when the child grows up, he has no right to object unless there has been an alteration or change in the will, in which case he has the right to restore it to what the deceased had originally intended."
5486 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى إِلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ وَ أَشْرَكَ فِي اَلْوَصِيَّةِ مَعَهَا صَبِيّاً فَقَالَ "يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ وَ تُمْضِي اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْوَصِيَّةَ وَ لاَ تَنْتَظِرُ بُلُوغَ اَلصَّبِيِّ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ اَلصَّبِيُّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ لاَ يَرْضَى إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ تَبْدِيلٍ أَوْ تَغْيِيرٍ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُ إِلَى مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ اَلْمَيِّتُ".
