The adopted daughter has no right to inheritance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 2235 )
Q: Indeed,my father (may Allah have mercy on him) and the Muslims adopted a baby girlwho was found hanging in a tree after her birth, and she had been placed in a garbage dump. She nursed from my milk, as I was also a newborn at the time. She grew up and then got married. After that, my father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away, and she has grown-up children who are demanding their inheritance from my father’s estate. My master, I ask you to issue a ruling on her case: does she inherit from my father’s rights? In both cases, I humbly request that your Excellency’s fatwa be in writing to convince her and convince her children, and whatever you graciously provide will serve as a limit and a means of convincing both parties. Please note that we did not disinherit her, as we paid her two-thirds of what one of the legal female heirs, my sisters, would be entitled to.
A: If the matter is as stated, this daughter is not entitled to any inheritance from
the wealth your father left behind; because she is not among the heirs. And what he did with her, taking her in and supporting her until she became a woman and got married, is a matter of doing good to her. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
