رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ فَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ اَلْبَقْبَاقِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَقَالَ "تَرِثُهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ سَنَةٍ إِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ وَ تَعْتَدُّ مِنْ يَوْمَ طَلَّقَهَا عِدَّةَ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثُمَّ تَتَزَوَّجُ إِذَا اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ تَرِثُهُ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ سَنَةٍ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ بَعْدَ مَا تَمْضِي سَنَةٌ فَلَيْسَ لَهَا مِيرَاثٌ ".
Abdullah ibn Miskan narrated from Faḍl ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Baqbaq who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who divorced his wife while he was ill. Imam عليه السلام said: "She inherits from him during his illness for up to a year if he dies from that illness. She observes the waiting period ('iddah) from the day he divorced her, following the waiting period of a divorced woman. After her waiting period ends, she may remarry. However, she will inherit from him within the span of a year if he dies from that illness. If he dies after a year has passed, then she has no right to inheritance."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرِيضِ يُطَلِّقُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ فِي تِلْكَ اَلْحَالِ قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ إِنْ شَاءَ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَرِثَتْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ".
Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbub narrated from Ibn Bukayr from ʿUbayd ibn Zurarah who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a sick man who divorces his wife in that state (of illness). Imam عليه السلام said: "No, but he may marry if he wishes. If he consummates the marriage, she will inherit from him. However, if he does not consummate the marriage, then his marriage is invalid."

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعٍ اَلْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ وَ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا طَلَّقَ اَلرَّجُلُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً فِي مَرَضِهِ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ فِي مَرَضِهِ حَتَّى اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْمَرَضِ بَعْدَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلْعِدَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ مَا لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ تَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلْعِدَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَرِثُهُ ".
Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbub narrated from Rabiʿ al-Aṣamm from Abu ʿUbaydah al-Ḥadhdhaʾ and Malik ibn ʿAṭiyyah, both from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "If a man divorces his wife with one divorce during his illness and remains in his illness until her waiting period ends, and then he dies from that illness after the completion of her waiting period, she will inherit from him as long as she has not remarried. However, if she marries after the completion of her waiting period, then she does not inherit from him."

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ عِدَّةَ اَلْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ لَهَا اَلْمِيرَاثُ".
In a narration from Samaʿah, he said: I asked him about a man who divorced his wife, and then he died before her waiting period had ended. Imam عليه السلام said: "She must observe the waiting period of a woman whose husband has passed away, and she is entitled to inherit from him."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 304
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ فِي صِحَّةٍ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَ اَلتَّطْلِيقَةَ اَلثَّالِثَةَ وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ إِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ مَا دَامَ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِلَى سَنَةٍ ".
In a narration from Ibn Abi Umair through Aban, it is reported that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Regarding a man who divorced his wife twice while in good health and then pronounced the third divorce while he was ill, she is entitled to inherit from him as long as he remains in his illness, even if it extends up to a year."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لَيْسَ لِلْمَرِيضِ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ".
In a narration from Ibn Bukayr through Zurara, it is reported that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "A sick man does not have the right to divorce his wife, but he is permitted to marry."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 304
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ فَقَالَ "تَرِثُهُ مَا دَامَتْ فِي عِدَّتِهَا فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فِي حَالِ اَلْإِضْرَارِ فَهِيَ تَرِثُهُ إِلَى سَنَةٍ وَ إِنْ زَادَ عَلَى اَلسَّنَةِ فِي عِدَّتِهَا يَوْمٌ وَاحِدٌ لَمْ تَرِثْهُ".
In a narration from Zurah through Samaah, it is reported that he asked about a man who divorced his wife while he was ill. Imam عليه السلام replied: "She inherits from him as long as she is in her waiting period (iddah). However, if he divorced her with the intention of causing harm, she will inherit from him for up to one year. But if her waiting period extends even one day beyond that year, she will not inherit from him."

وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَحْضُرُهُ اَلْمَوْتُ فَيُطَلِّقُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ طَلاَقُهُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ وَرِثَتْهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَتْ لَمْ يَرِثْهَا".
In a narration from Hammad through Al-Halabi, it is reported that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a man who was on his deathbed and divorced his wife. He was asked whether such a divorce was permissible. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, it is permissible. If he dies, she will inherit from him, but if she dies, he will not inherit from her."
