Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Does the one who kills by mistake inherit from the one who was killed?
Answer:
No, he does not inherit from him. Any killing that is guaranteed by a blood money or an expiation prevents inheritance. As for killing with a right, such as killing by a hudud punishment or for apostasy, it does not prevent inheritance. As for the killing that prevents inheritance, it is killing without a right.
