فقال: «إنَّ المرأة لیس علیها عاقلة، و لا نفقة، و لا جهاد-و عدّد أشیاء غیر هذا- و هذا علی الرجال؛ فلذلک جُعل له سهمان و لها سهم.» Ibn Abil‘uja’ said to Ahwal, ‘Why should a weak woman get one share while a wealthy man gets two shares?’ He answered, ‘I asked this same question of Imam Sadiq (‘a), he answered: ‘Aqilah (blood price)[^5], nafaqah , and Jihad—and some other things—are not obligatory for women, they are for men; thus, two shares have been designated for men and one for women.’[^6] [^1]: - Surah Nisa’ 4:7.
