Chapter on the Inheritance of the Son of li'an (mutual cursing)

Hadith.5698 - Muhammad ibn Al-Fudayl narrated from Abu Al-Sabbah and Amr ibn Uthman from Al-Mufaddal from Zayd from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding the inheritance of the son of the cursed woman. Imam (as) said: "His mother inherits from him." I asked: "What if his mother dies, and he inherits from her, then he dies - who inherits from him?" Imam (as) said: "The maternal relatives (Aṣaba) of his mother inherit from him, and he inherits from his maternal uncles."

Hadith.5691 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as), who was asked about a case of mula'anah (mutual cursing) where a man accuses his wife of adultery, disowns her child, and they engage in the process of mula'anah. Later, the husband claims that the 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."

When he returned, he found that his wife had passed away. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "He is given a choice between two options. It is said to him: If you wish, you can admit to the sin, in which case the legal punishment (hadd) will be carried out upon you, and you will receive her inheritance. Or, if you wish, you may affirm your accusation and perform mula'anah (mutual cursing) with her closest living relative, and in that case, you will have no share in her inheritance."

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."
