What is the ruling on a person who has suffered brain death, and does he inherit?

Question : Yes, hello, yes, peace be upon you, and upon you be peace. A question over the phone. Yes, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a person who has suffered brain death regarding inheritance? Does he take the course of a person who has died normally, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer : No, a person who has suffered brain death is not ruled to be dead unless the known signs of death mentioned by the scholars are present. That is, his heart has stopped, his brain has stopped, and the signs of death have appeared on him, such as the dimming of the eyes, the relaxation of the legs, and the like of what the scholars have mentioned. Then we rule that he is dead. May Allah reward you with good.
