The Wife of the Deceased Does Not Inherit From the Property of Her Father-in-Law


Question :

Is it permissible for the wife of the deceased to inherit from the property of the deceased's father?


Answer:

The wife of the deceased does not inherit from the property of her father-in-law if he dies while his father is still living. However, if his father dies before him, she inherits from her husband what he inherited from his father during his life. And Allah is the Granter of success. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
