Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, what is done with the wealth of a disbeliever if he dies?
And are his children given it or not?

The Shaykh : Are his children disbelievers or Muslims?

The questioner : Muslims.

The Shaykh : No, his children are not given it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
A Muslim may not inherit from an infidel nor an infidel from a Muslim. لا يرث المسلم الكافر ولا الكافر المسلم
Sunan Abi Dawud 2909Sahih (Al-Albani)
