The Ruling on Taking Inheritance in a Country That Divides Equally

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I live in a non-Islamic country, and there they do not distribute inheritance according to the Book and the Sunnah, but rather they divide it equally, so is it permissible for me to take my share in this way?

Answer:
Do not take except what Allah has prescribed for you, and as for what is not prescribed, do not take it, because it is not yours.
