The Inheritance of a Wife Who Defies Her Husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a wife who is in a state of marital defiance dies while her husband is alive, does she inherit from him?

Answer:
Yes, as long as she remains under his responsibility, she inherits from him. Marital defiance only drops the obligation of financial maintenance. As for inheritance, if he dies, she inherits from him because she is under his responsibility. Yes.
