Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A person was brought to Ziyad who had both organs (male and female), and it was not known how to allocate inheritance for him. So he said: "Who will solve this issue?" It was said: Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him. So he was called from prison, and he came walking in shackles. Ziyad said: "Decide." So he said: "Make him stand against the wall; if he urinates on the wall, he is a man, and if he urinates on his legs, she is a woman."

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned the statement of Jabir bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him), so he said: "What if he urinates from both passages at the same time?" I said: "I do not know." So he said: "The ruling will be according to whichever side it comes from first."

Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ziyad imprisoned me out of suspicion, then he sought a ruling from me regarding the inheritance of a khuntha (hermaphrodite). I said: "You suspect us and then you ask us about a religious matter!" Then I wrote to Ziyad: "Give inheritance according to the side from which he urinates."

Shu'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A case of a hermaphrodite was brought before Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), so it was said to him: "Give inheritance according to the organ from which he urinates."

It is narrated from a Sheikh that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "All praise is due to Allah who made our enemies ask us about matters of religion. Muawiyah wrote to me regarding the hermaphrodite, so I replied that inheritance should be given according to the side from which he urinates."

Shu'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the same manner.
