Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 54
وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا أَسْلَمَ اَلْأَبُ جَرَّ اَلْوَلَدَ إِلَى اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ دُعِيَ إِلَى اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَإِنْ أَبَى قُتِلَ وَ إِنْ أَسْلَمَ اَلْوَلَدُ لَمْ يَجُرَّ أَبَوَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَهُمَا مِيرَاثٌ ".
Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "If the father embraces Islam, he leads his child to Islam. When the child reaches maturity, he is invited to accept Islam; if he refuses, he is to be killed. However, if the child accepts Islam, they do not bring their parents into it, and there will be no inheritance between them."
