What is the legal consequence if the wife dies before the *li'an* is enacted?

Primary text

If the wife dies before the *li'an*, she dies while still legally married to the husband, and he inherits from her, according to the view of the majority of scholars. The basis for this is that she died in the state of marriage. Furthermore, *li'an* is a cause for separation, and since separation is not established after her death, it does not preclude inheritance, similar to how divorce does not preclude inheritance if it occurs after the husband's death.
