Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29353 — Those who said: She has no right

Sa'id bin Muslim said that al-Sha'bi was asked about a man who was killed and left behind a daughter, a sister and two wives, and one of his two wives pardoned her husband's blood. On this Imam al-Sha'bi said: A woman has no authority to pardon, except a woman who is a close blood relative (mahram) of the slain person and who has a share in the inheritance.
