Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 21
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."
