Al-Kāfi - The Book of Talaq (Divorces) Chapter: Divorce and Marriage during one’s Illness عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ ٠َحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِ٠) قَالَ لَيْسَ لِلْ٠َرِيضِ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَإِنْ هُوَ تَزَوَّجَ وَ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَ إِنْ لَ٠ْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا حَتَّى ٠َرَضِهِ فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ وَ لَا ٠َهْرَ لَهَا وَ لَا ٠12.

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘A man in his illness must not divorce his wife; but he can marry a woman.

If he marries and goes to bed with her, it is permissible; and if he did not go to bed with her until he dies from that illness, his marriage is invalid and she does not have mahr (dower) or inheritance.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (1/209))
