1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from his brother, Ja‘far ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn Yaqtin who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man who makes a bequest for a woman to share it with a child. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is permissible. The woman can execute the will and she does not have to wait until the child becomes mature. The child upon maturity cannot disagree unless the will is changed or altered, in which case the child can turn it back to comply with the will.’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

2. Muhammad has said the following: “Once Muhammad ibn al-Hassan wrote to abu Muhammad (a.s.), about the case of a man who made a bequest for his children consisting of adults and minor ones, if it is lawful for the adults to execute the will, pay off his debts to the rightful creditors according to just witnesses before the minors become adults. He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘The adult children must pay the debts of their father and they must not allow him to remain imprisoned thereby (the debts).”’
