Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 2|Chapter 49
عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَحْضُرُهُ الْمَوْتُ فَيُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ وَرِثَتْهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَتْ لَمْ يَرِثْهَا .
11. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, was asked about the case of a man who is about to die, and he divorces his wife; if such divorce is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is permissible and if he dies she inherits his legacy but if she dies he does not inherit her legacy.’”
