4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from certain persons of our people who have narrated the following: “About the case of a newborn who has the reproductive organs of both male and female, one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Such person inherits according to the case of the organ from which the urine comes. If he urinates from the male organ he inherits the share of a male person; if she urinates from the female organ she inherits the share of a female/ This is about a newborn who does not have an organ like male or female. However, has only a hole. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said that such person inherits like a male; if it (urine) comes with a dart but if it does not reach far away then that person inherits like a female/”
