Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 2366 — A man writes a divorce for his wife

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَتَبَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ: اعْتَدِّي، فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَهَا الْكِتَابُ، قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَتْ لَمْ تَنْقَضِ عِدَّتُهَا وَرِثَهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا لَمْ يَتَوَارَثَا»
Hazrat Aamir Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone wrote a letter to his wife: "Begin your 'iddah," and the wife passed away before the letter reached her, then if the 'iddah was not completed, she will share in the inheritance, otherwise not.
