رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلصَّبِيِّ يُزَوَّجُ اَلصَّبِيَّةَ هَلْ يَتَوَارَثَانِ فَقَالَ "إِذَا كَانَ أَبَوَاهُمَا اَللَّذَانِ زَوَّجَاهُمَا فَنَعَمْ".

Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd narrated from Al-Qasim ibn Sulayman, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, who said: He asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a boy being married to a girl - do they inherit from one another? Imam (a.s) said: "If it was their parents who arranged their marriage, then yes, they do inherit from each other."

قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَبَوَاهُمَا حَيَّيْنِ فَنَعَمْ.

Al-Qasim ibn Sulayman added, "If parents are both alive, then yes, they inherit from each other."

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ اَلْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُزَوِّجُ اِبْنَهُ يَتِيمَةً فِي حَجْرِهِ وَ اِبْنُهُ مُدْرِكٌ وَ اَلْيَتِيمَةُ غَيْرُ مُدْرِكَةٍ قَالَ "نِكَاحُهُ جَائِزٌ عَلَى اِبْنِهِ فَإِنْ مَاتَ عُزِلَ مِيرَاثُهَا مِنْهُ حَتَّى تُدْرِكَ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ حُلِّفَتْ بِاللَّهِ مَا دَعَاهَا إِلَى أَخْذِ اَلْمِيرَاثِ إِلاَّ رِضَاهَا بِالنِّكَاحِ ثُمَّ يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا اَلْمِيرَاثُ وَ نِصْفُ اَلْمَهْرِ" قَالَ "فَإِنْ مَاتَتْ هِيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ اَلزَّوْجُ لَمْ يَرِثْهَا اَلزَّوْجُ لِأَنَّ لَهَا اَلْخِيَارَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا أَدْرَكَتْ وَ لاَ خِيَارَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا".

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdul Aziz Al-Abdi, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said regarding a man who marries his son to an orphan girl under his care while his son is of legal age and the orphan girl has not yet reached maturity: "The marriage is valid for his son. However, if the son dies, her inheritance from him is withheld until she reaches maturity. Once she matures, she must swear by Allah (swt) that nothing motivated her to claim the inheritance except her acceptance of the marriage. Then, the inheritance and half of the dowry are given to her." Imam (a.s) further said: "But if she dies before reaching maturity and before the husband dies, the husband does not inherit from her because she has the right to choose (whether to accept the marriage) upon reaching maturity, while he has no such right over her."

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْغُلاَمُ لَهُ عَشْرُ سِنِينَ فَيُزَوِّجُهُ أَبُوهُ فِي صِغَرِهِ أَ يَجُوزُ طَلاَقُهُ وَ هُوَ اِبْنُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ قَالَ فَقَالَ "أَمَّا اَلتَّزْوِيجُ فَصَحِيحٌ وَ أَمَّا طَلاَقُهُ فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُحْبَسَ عَلَيْهِ اِمْرَأَتُهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ فَيُعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ طَلَّقَ فَإِنْ أَقَرَّ بِذَلِكَ وَ أَمْضَاهُ فَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ بَائِنَةٌ وَ هُوَ خَاطِبٌ مِنَ اَلْخُطَّابِ وَ إِنْ أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ وَ أَبَى أَنْ يُمْضِيَهُ فَهِيَ اِمْرَأَتُهُ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَاتَتْ أَوْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ "يُوقَفُ اَلْمِيرَاثُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ أَيُّهُمَا بَقِيَ ثُمَّ يُحَلَّفُ بِاللَّهِ مَا دَعَاهُ إِلَى أَخْذِ اَلْمِيرَاثِ إِلاَّ اَلرِّضَا بِالنِّكَاحِ وَ يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ اَلْمِيرَاثُ".

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ribaat, from Ibn Muskan, from Al-Halabi, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a boy who is ten years old and his father marries him off while he is still young. Is his divorce valid if he divorces at the age of ten? Imam (a.s) replied: "As for the marriage, it is valid. However, regarding the divorce, his wife should remain with him until he reaches maturity. Then it should be determined whether he had indeed divorced her. If he acknowledges it and affirms it, then it counts as one irrevocable divorce (ba'inah), and he becomes one of the suitors. But if he denies it and refuses to affirm it, then she remains his wife." I asked: "What if she dies or he dies?" Imam (a.s) said: "The inheritance is to be withheld until the surviving one reaches maturity. Then, he must swear by Allah (swt) that nothing led him to claim the inheritance except his acceptance of the marriage, and the inheritance will then be given to him."
