A wife who dies before her husband does not inherit from him


356

Q 1: My maternal grandfather married two women, but one of them died a year before him. Does she inherit from him after his death?


A: A wife who dies before her husband does not have any right in his inheritance, as one of the conditions to have a share in an inheritance is that the inheritor is alive at the time of death of the testator. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
