Chapter on the Inheritance of the Parents Alongside the Husband and Wife

Hadith.5616 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Ibn Udhaynah, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: "Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) read to me the 'Book of Inheritance', which was dictated by the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) and written in the handwriting of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). I read in it: A woman passes away, leaving behind her husband and both parents. The inheritance is divided as follows: the husband receives half of the estate, which is three shares; the mother receives one-third, which is two shares; and the father receives one-sixth, which is one share.

Hadith.5617 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Jamil, from Isma'il Al-Ju'fi, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who passed away and left behind his wife and both his parents. Imam (as) replied: "The wife receives one-fourth of the inheritance, the mother receives one-third, and whatever remains goes to the father. If a woman passes away leaving behind her husband and her mother, the husband receives half of the estate, and the remaining portion goes to the mother. If she leaves behind her husband and her father, the husband receives half of the estate, and the remaining portion goes to the father."
