Inheritance between spouses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And what is obligatory by the marriage contract: Inheritance between spouses: if the wife dies leaving her husband and she has no children, whether from him or from anyone else, he inherits half of her wealth. If he dies leaving her and he has no children, whether from her or from anyone else, she inherits one-quarter. This inheritance is established even if he did not consummate the marriage.
Example: If a man marries a woman and he has a lot of money, then he dies before he consummates the marriage or is alone with her, does she inherit from him? Yes, she inherits from him, and her full mahr is established for her, and she must observe the waiting period, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled in the case of Barwa' bint Washiq.
