Chapter on the Inheritance of the Son of li'an (mutual cursing)

۞
The child of mula'anah (the child resulting from mutual cursing between spouses due to accusations of adultery) has no inheritance rights from his father. His inheritance is only through his mother, maternal siblings, his own children, maternal uncles, and his wife. If he leaves behind children, the wealth is divided among them according to the shares ordained by Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. If he leaves behind both his father and mother, the wealth goes to his mother. If he leaves behind his father and his son, the wealth goes to his son. If he leaves behind his father and maternal uncles, the wealth goes to his maternal uncles. If he leaves behind a maternal uncle and a maternal aunt, the wealth is divided equally between them. If he leaves behind a maternal uncle, a maternal aunt, a paternal uncle, and a paternal aunt, the wealth is divided equally between the maternal uncle and aunt, and the paternal uncle and aunt receive nothing. If he leaves behind maternal siblings and a maternal grandmother, the wealth is divided equally between them. If he leaves behind his maternal aunt's son and his maternal grandfather, the wealth is divided equally between them. If he leaves behind his mother and his wife, the wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder goes to his mother. If the child of mula'anah leaves behind a wife, maternal grandfather, and maternal aunt, the wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder goes to the maternal grandfather. If he leaves behind three maternal aunts from different mothers, a wife, and a maternal nephew, the wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder goes to the maternal nephew. If he leaves behind a daughter and his mother, the daughter receives half, the mother receives one-sixth, and the remaining share is returned to them proportionally based on their shares. If he leaves behind his mother and his brother, the wealth goes entirely to his mother. If he leaves behind a wife, a daughter, a maternal grandfather, a maternal grandmother, and a maternal brother and sister, the wife receives one-eighth, and the remainder goes to the daughter. If he leaves behind a wife, maternal grandfather, mother, maternal grandmother, maternal nephew, maternal niece, maternal uncle, and maternal aunt, the wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder goes to his mother. If a man leaves behind a daughter and a son's daughter (granddaughter), the entire inheritance goes to the daughter. Similarly, if he leaves behind a daughter and a son's son (grandson), the entire inheritance goes to the daughter. If the child of mula'anah leaves behind a full brother (from both parents) and a maternal brother, the inheritance is divided equally between them. Likewise, if he leaves behind a maternal sister and a full sister, the inheritance is divided equally between them. If he leaves behind a paternal nephew and a maternal niece, the inheritance is also divided equally between them. If the daughter of the mula'anah child dies and leaves behind her daughter's son, her son's daughter's son, her husband, her maternal uncle, her grandfather, her maternal nephew, and her paternal nephew, the husband receives one-fourth of the inheritance, and the remainder goes to her daughter's son, while the rest of the relatives receive nothing. If the child of mula'anah leaves behind his sister and his maternal brother's daughter, the entire inheritance goes to his sister. If he leaves behind a wife, a maternal grandmother, and a maternal grandfather, the wife receives one-fourth, and the remainder is divided equally between the maternal grandfather and grandmother. As for the descendants of the child of mula'anah, if they die, their inheritance is distributed just like that of any other person, following all the prescribed rules of inheritance without distinction. Likewise, the inheritance of a child born from fornication (walad Al-zina) is the same as that of the child of mula'anah, following the same rules of inheritance.
ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَبِيهِ وَ إِنَّمَا تَرِثُهُ أُمُّهُ وَ إِخْوَتُهُ لِأُمِّهِ وَ وُلْدُهُ وَ أَخْوَالُهُ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَوْلَاداً فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى سِهَامِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَبَاهُ وَ أُمَّهُ فَالْمَالُ لِأُمِّهِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَبَاهُ وَ ابْنَهُ فَالْمَالُ لِابْنِهِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَبَاهُ وَ أَخْوَالَهُ فَمَالُهُ لِأَخْوَالِهِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ خَالًا وَ خَالَةً فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ خَالًا وَ خَالَةً وَ عَمّاً وَ عَمَّةً فَالْمَالُ لِلْخَالِ وَ الْخَالَةِ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ سَقَطَ الْعَمُّ وَ الْعَمَّةُ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ إِخْوَةً لِأُمٍّ و جَدَّةً لِأُمٍّ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنَ أُخْتِهِ لِأُمِّهِ وَ جَدَّهُ أَبَا أُمِّهِ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ‌ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أُمَّهُ وَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُمِّ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ امْرَأَةً وَ جَدّاً أَبَا أُمَّةٍ وَ خَالَةً لِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَ لِلْجَدِّ الْبَاقِي فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ خَالاتٍ مُتَفَرِّقَاتٍ وَ امْرَأَةً وَ ابْنَ أَخٍ لِأُمٍّ فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِابْنِ الْأَخِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَ أُمَّهُ فَلِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَ لِلْأُمِّ السُّدُسُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ رَدٌّ عَلَيْهِمَا عَلَى قَدْرِ سِهَامِهِمَا فَإِنْ تَرَكَ أُمَّهُ وَ أَخَاهُ فَالْمَالُ لِلْأُمِّ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ امْرَأَةً وَ ابْنَةً وَ جَدّاً وَ جَدَّةً لِأُمٍّ وَ أَخاً وَ أُخْتاً لِأُمٍّ فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلِابْنَةِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ امْرَأَةً وَ جَدّاً وَ أُمّاً وَ جَدَّةً وَ ابْنَ أَخٍ وَ ابْنَ أُخْتٍ وَ خَالًا وَ خَالَةً فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُمِّ وَ سَقَطَ الْبَاقُونَ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنَةً وَ ابْنَةَ ابْنٍ فَالْمَالُ لِلِابْنَةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنَةً وَ ابْنَ ابْنٍ فَالْمَالُ لِلِابْنَةِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ أَخاً لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ وَ أَخاً لِأُمٍّ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ تَرَكَ أُخْتاً لِأُمٍّ وَ أُخْتاً لِأَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنَ أَخٍ وَ ابْنَةَ أُخْتٍ لِأُمٍّ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ فَإِنْ مَاتَتِ ابْنَةُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ وَ تَرَكَتِ ابْنَ ابْنَتِهَا وَ ابْنَ ابْنَةِ ابْنِهَا وَ زَوْجَهَا وَ خَالَهَا وَ جَدَّهَا وَ ابْنَ أُخْتِهَا وَ ابْنَ أَخِيهَا فَلِلزَّوْجِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِابْنِ الِابْنَةِ وَ سَقَطَ الْبَاقُونَ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ أُخْتَهُ وَ ابْنَةَ أَخِيهِ لِأُمِّهِ فَالْمَالُ كُلُّهُ لِلْأُخْتِ فَإِنْ تَرَكَ امْرَأَةً وَ جَدَّةً وَ جَدّاً مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَبَيْنَ الْجَدِّ وَ الْجَدَّةِ لِلْأُمِّ نِصْفَانِ فَأَمَّا وَلَدُ وَلَدِ ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ إِذَا مَاتَ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ مِثْلُ‌ مِيرَاثِ غَيْرِ ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ سَوَاءً فِي جَمِيعِ فَرَائِضِ الْمَوَارِيثِ‌ وَ مِيرَاثُ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا مِثْلُ مِيرَاثِ وَلَدِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ.
