Chapter on the Inheritance of the Hermaphrodite
رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى اَلْخَشَّابُ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ كَلُّوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: "اَلْخُنْثَى يُوَرَّثُ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَبُولُ فَإِنْ بَالَ مِنْهُمَا جَمِيعاً فَمِنْ أَيِّهِمَا سَبَقَ اَلْبَوْلُ وُرِّثَ مِنْهُ فَإِنْ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَبُلْ فَنِصْفُ عَقْلِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ نِصْفُ عَقْلِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Musa Al-Khasshab narrated from Ghiyath ibn Kallub from Ishaq ibn Ammar from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام used to say: "The hermaphrodite is given inheritance based on the place from which they urinate. If they urinate from both, then inheritance is determined by whichever one the urine exits from first. If they die without urinating, then they are assigned half the blood money of a man and half the blood money of a woman."
