Question
Does a girl inherit in the estate of her step-father?
Answer
A step-daughter is not a man's heir. She does not automatically inherit in his estate. However, a person may make a wasiyyat (bequest) for a non-heir. The bequest amount may not be more than one third of the value of all his assets.
