Inheritance of the Divorced Woman

Question:
Also, among his questions, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Does a divorced woman inherit?

Answer:
There is a distinction regarding the divorced woman. The revocably divorced woman who dies while her husband is in the waiting period inherits from him because she is still his wife. As for the irrevocably divorced woman, one looks at the divorce: was it suspected of being intended to deprive her of inheritance, such as if he divorced her while dying of a terminal illness so that she would not inherit? In that case, she inherits, and he is dealt with in the opposite of his intention. However, if he was not suspected of intending to deprive her, and he divorced her while in good health or while dying of a terminal illness, and it was she who asked him for the divorce and he divorced her in response to her request, then she does not inherit because she is irrevocably divorced.
