1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from ‘Uthman ibn ’Isa from Sa‘d ibn Yasar who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, T pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, a woman gave a certain amount of property to her husband from her own property so he can use in business and she said to him upon the delivery, “You can spend from it and if something happens to you, it is lawful for you and if something happens to me and whatever you may spend is lawfully clean for you.’” He (the Imam) asked, ‘Say it again, O Sa‘id.’ When I wanted to repeat the question the person involved in the case was present so he repeated the same question. When he completed the question, he (the Imam) pointed with his finger to the person involved in the case saying, ‘If you know that she has left it up to your decision which you make before Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, then it is lawfully clean for you’- he said it three times. He (the Imam) then said, ‘Allah, most Majestic is whose name, has said in His book, “If they (the wives) agree about something of it (their property) for your spending thereof you may consume it in good health and pleasure.” (4:4)’”
