Q: A family is composed of a father, a mother, four sons, and four daughters. They were all Christians. Three sons and one daughter converted to Islam. Their father died and left them a huge fortune which is around 18,000,000 Saudi Riyals.
Do the children who embraced Islam have the right to inherit from their non-Muslim father?
A:
If the matter is as mentioned, the Muslim children whose father died as non-Muslim will not inherit. The origin of this ruling is what
is related by
Al-Bukhari and
Muslim
on the authority of
Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
Neither a Muslim inherits from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim.
(Part No. 16; Page No. 545) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
