Chapter on the Divorce by a Sick Person

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."
