Chapter on a Person's Right Over His Wealth as Long as There Remains Some Life in Him

503. hadíth

وَ تَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ وَ لاَ عَصَبَةَ قَالَ "يُوصِي بِمَالِهِ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ فِي اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اَلْمَسَاكِينِ وَ اِبْنِ اَلسَّبِيلِ".

And a confirmation of this is what was narrated by Ismaʿil ibn Abi Ziyad Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) from his father, Abu Abdullah Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), that he was asked about a man who dies without leaving behind an heir or any male relative (Aṣabah). Imam (a.s) said: "He may bequeath his wealth as he wishes among the Muslims, the poor, and the wayfarer."
