Question:
What is the ruling on one who deprives a woman of her inheritance through deception, either by taking it out of shyness of her, or by giving her only a small portion of it?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has made inheritance obligatory.Sunan Abi Dawud 2870Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani). So the heir is given his right and it is not cut off. It has come in a hadith or an athar that . So this is not permissible; it is the ruling of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. It is not permissible for a person to be deprived of his right in inheritance except with his consent. If he consents and gives it up voluntarily, there is no harm. But if he prevents him or deceives him, this is a matter that is not permissible.

Answer:
This is not permissible. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has made inheritance obligatory.
Allah has appointed for everyone who has a right what is due to him, and no bequest must be made to an heir.
إن الله قد أعطى كل ذي حق حقه، فلا وصية لوارثWhoever cuts off an inheritance, Allah will cut off his inheritance from Paradise
من قطع ميراثا قطع الله إرثه من الجنة
