Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father bought a house with his money, and my mother registered it in her name. Then she died while she was a disbeliever, committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah). His question is: Do I take a share of the inheritance from my mother who died in shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
No, a Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, and a disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim. There are three obstacles to inheritance: slavery, killing, and difference in religion. So understand this; doubt is not like certainty. Yes.
