The ruling on taking forbidden money from an inheritance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner has indicated his name with the letters alif, alif, and mīm. He asks: What is the ruling on the money that an heir takes if he knows that the source of this money is riba (usury or interest) or something forbidden?

Answer:
If he knows that this money is forbidden, it is not permissible for him to take it on the grounds that it is an inheritance; because forbidden money is forbidden for the heir and for the deceased. So he does not take it while knowing that it is forbidden. Yes.
