إِنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ أَنَّ الدَّيْنَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ يُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ الْمَالِ فَلَا يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَيْقِنْ فَلْيُنْفِقْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَالِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Nast, by a chain of his that, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man who died and left dependents, and upon him was a debt. Can he spend upon them from his wealth?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he is convinced that the debt which is upon him encompasses the entirety of the wealth, so he should not spend upon them, and if he is not convinced, so let him spend over them from the middle of the wealth’.
