[28] Elder Son is the wali among other guardians...
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad who said, ‘I wrote to Al-Akheir -asws (11 th Imam -asws ), ‘A man died and upon him were Fasts to make up for from a Month of Ramazan of ten days, and for him are two guardians. Is it allowed for both of them that they both make up for it together, five days by one guardian and five days by the other?’ So he -asws signed: ‘ The elder of his guardians should make up for it on his behalf, ten days, as a guardian, Allah -azwj Willing’.
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir who said, ‘I asked the Imam -asws about a man who had been bequeathed to, so he (the beneficiary) died before taking possession, and did not leave any offspring. He -asws said: ‘Seek out his inheritors, or a guardian, so hand it over to him’.
I said, ‘So if I do not know who is guardian it?’ He -asws said: ‘Strive over it in accordance to your ability, for his guardian, so if you still cannot find him, and Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Knows the striving from you, so give it in charity’.
