Q4: Is it permissible for the wife of a deceased man to inherit from the wealth of the deceased man's father?
A4: The wife of a deceased man does not inherit from the wealth of his father if he dies while his father is still alive, as mentioned in the second answer. However, if his father died before him, she inherits from her husband what he inherited from his father during his lifetime. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
