Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from France says that his father is a Christian and is not opposed to Islam. Is it permissible for me, a Muslim in need, to inherit from him?
Answer:
No, there is no mutual inheritance between a Muslim and a disbeliever. In the hadith of Usamah ibn Zayd,Sunan al-Bayhaqi 9:565, this is not permissible. May Allah make you independent of this.
