Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This person asks and says: Is it permissible for a Muslim son to demand from his disbelieving father, saying, “Bequeath me from your wealth, for your inheritance is forbidden to me”?

Answer:
No, he cannot force him to bequeath it to him, nor can he force him to give it to him. A son cannot force his father to give it to him, nor can a son force his father to give it to him. He will not give it to him except by his own choice and consent.
