Chapter on the Executor Purchasing From the Deceased's Estate When it is Sold to the Highest Bidder

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Ibrahim Al-Hamdani, who said: I wrote along with Muhammad ibn Yahya asking whether the executor of a will is permitted to purchase something from the deceased's estate when it is sold to the highest bidder and take it for himself. Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is permissible if he purchases it properly."
