Chapter on a person's Right Over His Wealth as Long as There Remains Some Life in Him

Hadith.5466 - Abdullah ibn Jabalah narrated from Samaah, from Abu Baṣir, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: I asked Imam (as), "A man who has children, is it permissible for him to give his wealth to his relatives?" Imam (as) replied: "It is his wealth; he may do with it as he wishes until death comes to him."

Hadith.5469 - And a confirmation of this is what was narrated by Ismaʿil ibn Abi Ziyad Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Abu Abdullah Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), that he was asked about a man who dies without leaving behind an heir or any male relative (Aṣabah). Imam (as) said: "He may bequeath his wealth as he wishes among the Muslims, the poor, and the wayfarer."
