Topic: Can a Muslim Inherit from a Non Muslim?   (No-19161)

Q Is a woman who has reverted to Islam from Christianity entitled to a share in her Christian father's estate?

aMuslims and Christians cannot inherit from each other. Consequently, if a woman reverts from Christianity to Islam, she is not eligible to receive any inheritance from her deceased Christian father's estate.

صحیح البخاری: (باب لا یرث المسلم الکافر، رقم الحدیث: 6764، 272/4، ط: دارالکتب العلمیۃ)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ وَلَا الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ.

الھندیۃ: (454/6، ط: دار الفکر)
واختلاف الدين أيضا يمنع الإرث والمراد به الاختلاف بين الإسلام والكفر.
