The ruling on the inheritance of a slave's wealth to his children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The length of the matter, or what did you do? Is it correct? Does my son and your son, then, do they own anything from their father?

The Shaykh:
A slave does not inherit. His wealth is not his property; his property belongs to his master. If he dies, his wealth goes to his master. Even if he has children, they have nothing. The wealth belongs to the master. Yes.

The questioner:
And does the ruling differ regarding whether he is free or a slave?

The Shaykh:
The ruling does not differ. They have nothing as long as their father is a slave, so his wealth belongs to his master, whether they are free or slaves.
