The Ruling on Bequests Between a Muslim and a Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is a bequest from a disbeliever to a Muslim valid, and likewise from a Muslim to a disbeliever, and from a disbeliever to a disbeliever?
Answer:
As you heard at the beginning of the chapter, a bequest from a disbeliever to a Muslim is not valid; rather, a bequest to an open sinner is not valid. A Muslim’s bequest to a Muslim open sinner is not valid, so how can it be valid for a disbeliever? As for the reverse, where a disbeliever bequeaths to a Muslim, there is no harm. Yes.
