Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from America says: If a disbeliever leaves behind some money or land for his Muslim relative, what should the Muslim do with that money or land? Is he allowed to take possession of it? If he gave it to him, or left it for him as a bequest...
Answer:
He takes possession of it. But if he did not give it to him, it belongs to his disbeliever heirs, his disbeliever relatives, and the Muslim has no share of it; it returns to the disbelievers.
