Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does haram money become lawful after the death of its owner and its transfer to the heirs?
Answer:
No, if they know that it is haram, they do not inherit it. If they know with certainty that it is haram, that is the case. As for mere doubts, and this is what causes harm, the default is permissibility until it is proven to be haram. Yes.
