سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ غَارِماً فَهَلَكَ فَأُخِذَ بَعْضُ وُلْدِهِ بِمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فَغُرِّمُوا غُرْماً عَنْ أَبِيهِمْ فَانْطَلَقُوا إِلَى دَارِهِ فَابْتَاعُوهَا وَ مَعَهُمْ وَرَثَةٌ غَيْرُهُمْ نِسَاءٌ وَ رِجَالٌ لَمْ يُطْلِقُوا الْبَيْعَ وَ لَمْ يَسْتَأْمِرُوهُمْ فِيهِ فَهَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ إِنَّمَا أَصَابَ الدَّارَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا غُرِّمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلِ فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمِيعاً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazal Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who had a debt and he died. So one of his sons took with what was upon him (his business) and ended up with more debts on behalf of their father. So they (the creditors) went to his house, so they sold it and with them were other inheritors, women and men, not having approved of the sale and did not order them to work for them with regards to it. So is there anything to them with regards to that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was (like that). But rather, the house was hit from that business of his, so the creditors are regarding that business (to collect their debt), so it is upon all of them (the inheritors and not one son who took over the business)’.
