1. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan and abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al- Jabbar all from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Ishaq al-Fazariy who has narrated the following:

“Once abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked, when I was with him, about the case of a newborn who is not a male or female but there is only the anus and how to deal with the inheritance of such person. He (the Imam) said, ‘The Imam and people come in a gathering, pray to Allah then arrange a raffle to see the name of which sex comes and deal with the case according to the result of the raffle. No other means is as fair as raffle; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘They cast raffle and he lost in the raffle.’” (37:141)
