Abstract

As for the inheritance of a person who hold such estoeric belief and doctrines that contradict Islam, Therefore according to the teachings of Islam he is not entitled to inherit from his Muslim relatives and they do not inherit from him as well because disparity in religion is one of the impediments of inheritence. A Muslim can not inherit from a non-Muslim relative nor can a non-Muslim inherit from his Muslim relative. Usaamah Ibn Zayd (R.A) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said "A Muslim is not allowed to inherit (any thing from a) non Muslim and non-Muslim is not allowed to inherit from a Muslim (Al-Bukhari, Muslim) and So it approved from the above mentioned Hadees but the issue that has become more common in non-muslim countries is related to those persons who have converted to islam and are living in these countries.According to Sharia they are not allowed to take their part in inheritance but in some cases the situation becomes harmful for the muslims when this estate is allocated to any NGO or organization which uses it against muslim interests so the question arises,is it not better for the converted Muslims to take their share of inheritance according to country law considering a gift from their non-muslim relatives.
