Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu Ya’fur who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), if a woman can receive anything from the wergild of her husband or a man can receive anything from the wergild of his wife anything.

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, they can do so as long as one of them does not kill the other partner.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/209))
