The purpose of this research is the review of inheritance of women in Imamate and Sunni jurisprudence. This research comprises of four sections: the first section of the study is the general overview of the research which is the definition, explanation and subject matter of the research, review of literature, main and secondary research questions, research methodology, key words (inheritance, jurisprudence, wife, Imamate and Sunni). This research try to answer these questions: conditions of wife inheritance, the properties which wife can get inheritance, difference between wives. Based on research hypothesis, in Islam women like men have the right of inheritance. But it depends on terms of inheritance and the type of property. In this research, referring to the books and literature, after a general overview, as outlined. Bases on the evidence of wife inheritance have been studies. In next section, conditions of wife inheritance and its obstacle with different topics such as: the existence of clot wed couples, keeping the relationship till death, permanent marriage, wife inheritance, non-prohibition of the wife from inheritance which is essential to inherit has also been investigated. Later we discussed the different views and opinion regarding the issue of wife inheritance and her exclusion from inheriting to some property of the husband, which coordinates from Imamate jurisprudence. Each of the heirs entitles inheritance has a share of the properties. The Quran and the verses which determine the inheritance of wife from her husband estates like expression of people inheritance and state that the wife has a portion also the right to have her share from the husband assets and properties. Quran and in the same statements says: The Sunni jurist with regard to this verses argues that the wife has the right to have share of husband assets. Majority of Shiite jurists excludes wife inheriting some properties such as land, buildings. Sheikh Tooi in his books says: wife has no share from building and lands instead the bricks and woods values to be estimated and wife share is to be paid to her. Majority of the jurist objected this statement and argued that “the wife inherits the entire property. Our reason is the narratives of Imamate consensus. “Seyed Morteza in his book Entesar quoted that deprivation of wife from the some assets especially land is only in Imamate.
