Article 499 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

For mutual inheritance between spouses, it is a condition that the wife remain in the husband's wedlock; they shall inherit from each other even without consummation. A revocably divorced woman has the status of a wife as long as she remains in the waiting period, unlike an irrevocably divorced woman.
Arabic original
يشترط في التوارث بين الزوجين أن تكون الزوجة في عصمة الزوج فيتوارثان ولو مع عدم الدخول، والمطلقة الرجعية بحكم الزوجة ما دامت في العدة بخلاف البائنة.
