My mother who was a non- Muslim has passed away.

Question

My mother who was a non-Muslim has passed away. My brother who is not a Muslim claims her entire property. Can I fight for my share?

Answer

There are no ties of inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims. While a non-Muslim may bequeath something for a Muslim, the Muslim may not claim inheritance. As such, you may not fight with your brother for a share.
