Chapter on the Inheritance of the Killer, Who Inherits From Blood Money and Who Does Not

رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ أَبَاهُ قَالَ "لاَ يَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لِلْقَاتِلِ اِبْنٌ وَرِثَ اَلْجَدَّ اَلْمَقْتُولَ".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil, from one of the two Imams (peace be upon them), regarding a man who killed his father. Imam عليه السلام said: "He does not inherit from him. However, if the killer has a son, the son inherits from the murdered grandfather."
