Ruling on inheriting wealth that has been mixed with riba

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man inherited wealth from his father, and this wealth had been mixed with riba and non-riba.Meaning: His father worked in trade, so what is the ruling on inheriting this wealth?
There is nothing wrong with it; he inherits it as lawful for him.Because we do not know that any of the Muslims said: It is obligatory for the heirs to investigate how their deceased acquired this wealth. Yes, if we know that there is something stolen in this wealth, then we must return the stolen item to its owner if we know who it is, or give it in charity to rid ourselves of it. As for earnings, the sin of the earnings is upon the earner, not upon the heir.
