Inheritance from a father who frequented sorcerers and shrines

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father used to visit sorcerers and magicians, as well as shrines. He passed away when I was young, and I do not know whether he repented from these matters or not. His question is: Do I take my share of the estate?

Answer:
No, unless it is established that he embraced Islam, in which case you take your share. Yes.
