Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the Malikis hold that inheriting from a murderer is incorrect. What is the basis of their position, and does it have any merit? They say that the default is inheritance, and they do not consider the hadith "There is no inheritance for a murderer" to be valid. It seems they do not authenticate it, and the default is inheritance.
Answer:
But the correct view is that of the majority, in order to block the means to harm, and the hadith is cited as evidence; it does not fall below the level of being cited as evidence.
