فِي امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ بِهَا مَا لَهَا مِنَ الْمَهْرِ وَ كَيْفَ مِيرَاثُهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَا صَدَاقَ لَهَا وَ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هِيَ تَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَا مَهْرَ لَهَا.

6. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “About the case of a woman who dies before his going to bed with her, about her mahr (dower) and her inheritance, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If mahr (dower) is set for her, she deserves one-half of it and he inherits her legacy. If mahr (dower) is not set then mahr (dower) is not payable to her.’ About the case of a man who dies before going to bed with his wife, he (the Imam) said, ‘If he has set mahr (dower) for her she deserves one-half of it and she inherits him, but if mahr (dower) is not set she then does not have the right to demand any mahr (dower).”’
