The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says that his father is a disbeliever, and he says that he is near death and advanced in age,
The Shaykh:
that his father is a disbeliever.
The questioner:
and that he has no children other than me. So is it permissible for me to ask him to give me a gift while he is alive?
The Shaykh:
As for inheritance, you have no inheritance from him; because he is a disbeliever and you are a Muslim, and a disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim, nor does a Muslim inherit from a disbeliever. As for him giving you something from his wealth while he is alive, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Note that if you have brothers, he does not give to you for your sake alone; he must be fair among his children. Yes.
