40. If a Deceased Leaves Behind Muslim and non-Muslim Heirs
Back to book1- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلا ذِمِّيّاً أَسْلَمَ وَأَبُوهُ حَيٌّ وَلأبِيهِ وَلَدٌ غَيْرُهُ ثُمَّ مَاتَ الأبُ وَرِثَهُ الْمُسْلِمُ جَمِيعَ مَالِهِ وَلَمْ يَرِثْهُ وَلَدُهُ وَلا امْرَأَتُهُ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِ شَيْئاً.
1. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan al-Tamimiy from his brother Ahmad ibn al-Hassan from his father from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad from ibn Ribat in a marfu’ manner has said, the following: “’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ’If a Dhimmiy (taxpayer) becomes a Muslim when his father is living who has children besides him, then the father dies, the Muslim inherits all of his legacy and his other children and wife do not inherit anything with a Muslim.’”
Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi: مرفوع - Mir‘at al ‘Uqul Fi Sharh Akhbar Al al Rasul (23/219)
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي يَهُودِيٍّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ يَمُوتُ وَلَهُ أَوْلادٌ مُسْلِمُونَ وَأَوْلادٌ غَيْرُ مُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ هُمْ عَلَى مَوَارِيثِهِمْ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from more than one person who has narrated the following: “About the case of a Jew and a Christian who dies and has Muslim children and non-Muslim children, he (the Imam) said, ’The laws of inheritance apply to them.’” (Only Muslims inherit).
