Chapter on the Inheritance of the Husband Alongside the Offspring
Source
Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq
۞
If a woman dies and leaves behind a son and a husband, the husband receives one-fourth of the inheritance, and the remainder goes to the son. Similarly, if she leaves behind two or more sons, the husband still receives one-fourth, and the remaining portion is equally divided among the sons. The husband's share cannot be less than one-fourth in any situation and cannot exceed one-half. Likewise, a woman's share cannot be less than one-eighth and cannot exceed one-fourth, and neither the wife nor the husband can ever be excluded from inheritance. If she leaves behind a daughter and a husband, the husband receives one-fourth, and the remainder goes to the daughter, because Allah (swt) has only assigned half the inheritance to a daughter when both parents are alive. If she leaves behind a husband and two daughters or more, the husband receives one-fourth, and the remainder is equally divided among the daughters. If she leaves behind a husband, a son, and a daughter, or sons and daughters, the husband receives one-fourth, and the remaining portion is divided among the sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females.
إِذَا مَاتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَ تَرَكَتِ ابْناً وَ زَوْجاً فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلِابْنِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ كَانَا ابْنَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ بَعْدَ الرُّبُعِ فَلِلْبَنِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ لَا يُنْقَصُ الزَّوْجُ مِنَ الرُّبُعِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ لَا يُزَادُ عَلَى النِّصْفِ وَ لَا تُنْقَصُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَ الثُّمُنِ وَ لَا تُزَادُ عَلَى الرُّبُعِ وَ لَا تُسْقَطُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ الزَّوْجُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ عَلَى حَالٍ‌ فَإِنْ تَرَكَتِ ابْنَةً وَ زَوْجاً فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلِابْنَةِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفَ مَعَ الْأَبَوَيْنِ‌ فَإِنْ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجاً وَ ابْنَتَيْنِ أَوْ بَنَاتٍ فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْبَنَاتِ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجاً وَ ابْناً وَ ابْنَةً أَوْ بَنِينَ وَ بَنَاتٍ فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْبَنِينَ وَ الْبَنَاتِ‌ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ‌.
