Question
My parents were not Muslims. In their will they left a property for me. Is it permissible for me to accept it?
Answer
There are no ties of inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims. While a non- Muslim may make a bequest for a Muslim, he (the Muslim) cannot demand inheritance from his non-Muslim relative. Whatever you have received from the deceased belongs to you.
