Q: The driver's brother died, leaving his mother, brothers, sisters and his wife, who was six-month pregnant. After twenty-five days, she miscarried twins; a boy and a girl.
Do they deserve a share in the estate of their father, even though they died while still in their mother's womb?
A:
If it is proven that the twins were miscarried and born dead, they do not deserve a share in the inheritance, either from their father or from anybody else. The fact that they lived in their mother's womb for twenty-five days or more after their father's death does not entitle them to inheritance, as they were born dead. (Part No. 16; Page No. 539) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
