رَجُلٍ أَرْسَلَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةً وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ فَأَنْكَحُوا الْغَائِبَ وَ فُرِضَ الصَّدَاقُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ خَبَرُهُ بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ تُوُفِّيَ بَعْدَ مَا سَبَقَ الصَّدَاقُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أُمْلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا تُوُفِّيَ فَلَيْسَ لَهَا صَدَاقٌ وَ لَا مِيرَاثٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أُمْلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّى فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَ هِيَ وَارِثُهُ وَ عَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who sent a proposal of his to a woman, and he was absent. So he married her in absence, and necessitated the dower. Then came the news of his death afterwards that he had died, after the dower had been sent. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the possession is after his death, so there is no dower for her, nor an inheritance, but if it was such that the possession was before his death, so for her would be half the dower, and she would inherit him, and upon her is the waiting period’.
