Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the foundling has children, do they inherit from the one who took him in along with him?
The Shaykh : And what do you say?
This person is asking, saying: If the foundling has children, does the one who took him in inherit from him?
We say that if they are males, or males and females, then the foundling does not inherit from the one who took him in because of the presence of the residuary heir. However, if his children are females, they inherit from him by fixed share. Likewise, if he has a wife, she inherits from him by fixed share. And what remains goes to the one who took him in.
