Hadith Scan
Some ignorant people have gone around spreading that in Shi’a fiqh a woman does not inherit land or fixed property. This comes from a lie that is being spread around regarding the meanings of certain hadiths. For example, in Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Vol. 9, pg. 345, Hadith # 113 there is a tradition stating;
عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سألته عن النساء ما لهن من الميراث؟ قال: لهن قيمة الطوب والبناء والخشب والقصب، فأما الأرض والعقارات فلا ميراث لهن فيه
'I only know this from Maysarah who reported from Abu Abdillah (as) that he said: I asked him about women, what is their share of inheritance?' He said: 'They have the value of bricks, construction, wood, and reeds. As for land and property, they have no inheritance in them.'
