“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about the case of a man who is about to die, and he divorces his wife; if such divorce is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is permissible and if he dies she inherits his legacy but if she dies he does not inherit her legacy.’”

"Yes, it is valid, and she will inherit from him. However, if she dies, he does not inherit from her."

"Any man who acknowledges his child and then later denies him has no right to do so, and he deserves no respect. His child will be attributed to him if the child is from his wife or his maidservant."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one dies with indebtedness, on us is his debt and up to us are his dependents. If one dies leaving behind assets, it is for his heirs and if one dies leaving behind no guardians, his asset is part of public welfare fund.”’

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of slave- girls and conditions that say, ‘She must not be sold or transferred in inheritance or given as gift.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is lawful except inheritance; she is inherited. Any condition against the book of Allah is rejected.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a man in good health divorces his wife as such wherein he does not have the right to go back to her, she then does not inherit him and he does not inherit her legacy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he in a divorce has the right to go back to her then she inherits him and he inherits her until she experiences the third cycle of her Hayd (menses).”’

I heard Abu Abdullah (as) narrated that the Prophet of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say: "I have a greater claim over every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind debt or dependents in need, then it is upon me and my responsibility."

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who forms Mula ‘anah against his wife when she is pregnant.

He (the Imam) said, ‘The child is returned to him but cannot inherit his legacy and he is not whipped because Mula ‘anah has already taken place.’”

“About the words of Allah, most Blessed, most High, ‘. . . they ask you about al-Anfal (assets captured from the enemy),’ (8:1) abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one dies without leaving behind any heirs his assets become part of al-Anfal.’”

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about women; if they inherit from the house. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, but they inherit from the value of the building.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘People do not agree with it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When we will be in authority if people disagree we will use the sword and whip and if they will not behave properly we will strike them with the sword.’”

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who had invoked li'an against his wife while she was pregnant, and her pregnancy was visibly apparent. He denied what was in her womb. However, after she gave birth, he claimed the child and acknowledged it, asserting that it was his. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "The child is returned to him, and he inherits from him, and the man is not subjected to flogging because the li'an has already taken place."

child is indeed his and denies his earlier accusation. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "As for the woman, she can never return to him. As for the child, I return the child to him if he acknowledges it, and I will not leave his child without inheritance. The son inherits from the father, but the father does not inherit from the son. The child's inheritance goes to his maternal uncles. However, if anyone claims a child of adultery (walad Al-zina), he will be subjected to the prescribed punishment (hadd) for false accusation."
