Al-Mu'tadid's decree on returning the residue of inheritances to blood kin

In Jumada I 283 al-Mu'tadid decreed that the residue of inheritance shares revert to blood kin rather than the treasury, and had the decree read from the pulpits — following Abu Khazim and Ibn Abi'l-Shawarib's opinion citing the agreement of Umar, Ali and Ibn Mas'ud, and setting aside Yusuf ibn Ya'qub's fatwa in favor of Zayd ibn Thabit's view.
