Forms of the Father’s Exclusion from Inheritance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How can a man be a father but not an heir?

Answer:
A man may be a father and yet not an heir, either because he is a slave and does not inherit from his free son, or because he is a disbeliever and his son is a Muslim, or vice versa; if he is a Muslim and his son is a disbeliever, he does not inherit. He may also kill his son, in which case he does not inherit from him. A parent may kill his child and not inherit from him. When an obstacle arises, he becomes a father but not an heir, whether because he differs in religion from the deceased, or because he is the killer, or because he is a slave. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
