Al-Kāfi - The Book of Wills

Chapter: The Witness for the Will َاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َيْرٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) فِي شَهَادَةِ ا٠ْرَأَةٍ حَضَرَتْ رَجُلا يُوصِي لَيْسَ ٠َعَهَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يُجَازُ رُبُعُ ٠َا أَوْصَى بِحِسَابِ شَهَادَتِهَا. 4.

Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Rib‘iy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if a woman’s bearing witness to the will of a man when no man is available is accepted. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is effective for one-fourth of what is willed according to her testimony.’” جهول كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/8))
