Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Yahya al-Halabiy from Shu’ayb al-Haddad from Yazid al- Sa’igh who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about women; if they inherit from the house.

He (the Imam) said, ‘No, but they inherit from the value of the building.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘People do not agree with it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When we will be in authority if people disagree we will use the sword and whip and if they will not behave properly we will strike them with the sword.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (23/120))
