Chapter on a Person's Right Over His Wealth as Long as There Remains Some Life in Him
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ اَلْوَلَدُ يَسَعُهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَالَهُ لِقَرَابَتِهِ قَالَ "هُوَ مَالُهُ يَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا شَاءَ إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ اَلْمَوْتُ".
Abdullah ibn Jabalah narrated from Samaah, from Abu Baṣir, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام, "A man who has children, is it permissible for him to give his wealth to his relatives?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is his wealth; he may do with it as he wishes until death comes to him."
