Question:
He says: I am reading in one of the books on inheritance, and I came across the hadith of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 2634Sahih (Darussalam),
Answer:
Yes, the one in authority is the heir of the one who has no heir, not by a fixed share, not by residuary inheritance, and not by kinship. If a person dies and has no heir from his residuary heirs or his relatives among those with fixed shares, the residuary heirs, and the kin, then his wealth belongs to the public treasury. His wealth belongs to the public treasury because it is the wealth of a deceased person who has no heir, so it reverts to the public treasury. Yes.
