قَالَ مُصَنِّفُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ مَتَى كَانَ الْإِمَامُ غَائِباً كَانَ مِيرَاثُ ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ لِأُمِّهِ وَ مَتَى كَانَ الْإِمَامُ ظَاهِراً كَانَ لِأُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ وَ الْبَاقِي لِإِمَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ تَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ.
The author of this book, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him, stated: When the Imam is absent, the inheritance of the child of mula'anah belongs entirely to his mother. However, when the Imam is present and apparent, one-third of the inheritance goes to the mother, and the remaining portion belongs to the Imam of the Muslims. This is supported by related narrations.
