The Ruling on a Father Depriving His Son of Inheritance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to another letter sent by Salih al-Yahya from al-Qasim. He asks: What is the ruling on a father depriving his son of his inheritance as a punishment for him in this life?
Answer:
It is forbidden for him. It is not permissible for anyone to deprive an heir of his inheritance for any reason. Allah has given every person who has a right his due. Allah has given this to him, so it is not permissible for you to deprive him of it or punish him by doing so. If you want to punish him, do so by other means that are prescribed for punishment. As for depriving him of his inheritance, punishment by this means is not prescribed, and it is forbidden. It was mentioned in the hadith: Yes.
