1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn al-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “This is in regards to my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who dies when he owes Qada’ (compensatory) Salat (prayer) or fast. He (the Imam) said, The person who has the greatest degree of priority for his legacy carries out its Qada’ (compensatory fast or Salat) on his behalf.’ I then asked, ‘Can such person be a woman?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, such person can only be from men.’”
Isnādعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَعَلَيْهِ صَلاةٌ أَوْ صِيَامٌ قَالَ يَقْضِي عَنْهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِمِيرَاثِهِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهِ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ لا إِلاَّ الرِّجَالُ.
