Chapter on the Divorce by a Sick Person

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."
