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

زَوْجُهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْوَلَدُ وَلَدِي وَ يُكَذِّبُ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَلَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً وَ أَمَّا الْوَلَدُ فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا ادَّعَاهُ وَ لَا أَدَعُ وَلَدَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ وَ يَرِثُ الِابْنُ الْأَبَ وَ لَا يَرِثُ الْأَبُ الِابْنَ يَكُونُ مِيرَاثُهُ لِأَخْوَالِهِ‌[3] وَ إِنْ دَعَاهُ أَحَدٌ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا جُلِدَ الْحَدَّ.

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 accusatio

وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ[4] عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ إِنَّ مِيرَاثَ وَلَدِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ لِأُمِّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ لَيْسَتْ بِحَيَّةٍ فَلِأَقْرَبِ النَّاسِ مِنْ أُمِّهِ أَخْوَالِهِ‌[5].

"The inheritance of the child of mula'anah belongs to his mother. If his mother is not alive, then it goes to the closest relatives on his mother's side - his maternal uncles."

الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ تَرِثُهُ أُمُّهُ الثُّلُثَ وَ الْبَاقِي لِإِمَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

"The child of mula'anah is inherited by his mother with one-third, and the remainder belongs to the Imam of the Muslims."

وَ رَوَى ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ أَنَّهُ تَرِثُهُ أُمُّهُ الثُّلُثَ وَ الْبَاقِي لِلْإِمَامِ لِأَنَّ جِنَايَتَهُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ‌[1].

"The Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled regarding the child of mula'anah that his mother inherits one-third, and the remainder belongs to the Imam because any liability for his actions falls upon the Imam."

يُخَيَّرُ وَاحِدَةً مِنِ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَلْزَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ الذَّنْبَ فَيُقَامُ فِيكَ الْحَدُّ وَ تُعْطَى الْمِيرَاثَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَقْرَرْتَ فَلَاعَنْتَ أَدْنَى قَرَابَتِهَا

Hadith.5695 - Abu Al-Jawza' narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Alwan, from Amr ibn Khalid, from Zayd ibn Ali, from his father (as), from his grandfather (as), from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), regarding a man who accused his wife of adultery and then left. When he returned, he found that his wife had passed away. Imam Ali ibn

"كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ : "إِذَا مَاتَ اِبْنُ اَلْمُلاَعَنَةِ وَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ قُسِمَ مَالُهُ عَلَى سِهَامِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ" ".

"Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) used to say: 'If the son of the cursed woman dies and he has brothers, his wealth is divided according to the shares ordained by Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic.'"

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى قَدِ اسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا وَ أَنْكَرَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتِ ادَّعَاهُ وَ أَقَرَّ بِهِ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدُهُ وَ يَرِثُهُ وَ لَا يُجْلَدُ لِأَنَّ اللِّعَانَ قَدْ مَضَى‌[1].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who had invoked li'an against his wife while she was pregnant, and her pregnancy was visibly apparent. He denied what was in her womb. However, after she gave birth, he claimed the child and acknowledged it, asserting that it was his. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "The child is returned

تَرِثُهُ أُمُّهُ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ وَ وَرِثَهَا هُوَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ هُوَ مَنْ يَرِثُهُ قَالَ عَصَبَةُ أُمِّهِ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُ أَخْوَالَهُ.

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

وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‌ ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ يُنْسَبُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ وَ يَكُونُ أَمْرُهُ وَ شَأْنُهُ كُلُّهُ إِلَيْهَا.

"The son of the cursed woman is attributed to his mother, and all his matters and affairs belong entirely to her."
