Women do not Inherit Anything from Real Property
Al-Kāfi|Volume 7|Book 2|Chapter 27
6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ [أَ] و مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لا تَرِثُ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ عَقَارِ الدُّورِ شَيْئاً وَلَكِنْ يُقَوَّمُ الْبِنَاءُ وَالطُّوبُ وَتُعْطَى ثُمُنَهَا أَوْ رُبُعَهَا قَالَ وَإِنَّمَا ذَاكَ لِئَلا يَتَزَوَّجْنَ النِّسَاءُ فَيُفْسِدْنَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَوَارِيثِ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Zurarah [or] and Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Women do not inherit from real property or houses anything but the building and bricks must be appraised to give one-eighth or one-fourth thereof to her.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is because women may get married and thus spoil the legacy for the heirs.’”
