Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is a difference in residence among the obstacles to inheritance?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : A difference in residence.

The Shaykh : A difference in residence?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : What do you mean?

The questioner : One of the obstacles to inheritance is, for example, if one person lives in Egypt.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, an obstacle to what?

The questioner : Inheritance.

Another questioner : A land of disbelief and a land of Islam.

Another questioner : No, no, the country, I mean the country.

The Shaykh : The country has no bearing, my brother. A difference in religion is the obstacle.

The questioner : A difference in residence. The Shaykh "Sayyid Sabiq" mentioned a difference in residence among the obstacles to inheritance.

The Shaykh : No, no, I do not think a scholar would say that. A difference in religion is the obstacle; meaning, if you are here and your brother or your father is there, and one of you dies, the other does not inherit from him, according to those who say a difference in residence is an obstacle?

The questioner : They say so.

The Shaykh : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim لا يرث مسلم كافر ولا كافر مسلم
and that is all.
