Sunan Ibn Majah 2736 (Book 23, Hadith 18) #32090
Inheritance Rights in Marriage

SUMMARY: A woman inherits from her husband's wealth and blood money, and vice versa, unless one of them kills the other.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah stood up, on the day of the conquest of Makkah, and said: "A woman inherits from the blood money and wealth of her husband, and he inherits from her blood money and wealth, so long as one of them did not kill the other. If one of them killed the other deliberately, then he or she inherits nothing from the blood money or wealth. If one of them killed the other by mistake, he or she inherits from the other’s wealth, but not from the blood money".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، - وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَامَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ الْمَرْأَةُ تَرِثُ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا وَمَالِهِ وَهُوَ يَرِثُ مِنْ دِيَتِهَا وَمَالِهَا مَا لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَإِذَا قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ عَمْدًا لَمْ يَرِثْ مِنْ دِيَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ شَيْئًا وَإِنْ قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ خَطَأً وَرِثَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَلَمْ يَرِثْ مِنْ دِيَتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rights of inheritance between a husband and wife. According to this hadith, a woman is entitled to inherit from her husband's wealth and blood money, as well as the other way around. However, if one of them kills the other deliberately then they are not entitled to any inheritance from either their wealth or blood money. If it was an accident then they are still able to inherit from their partner's wealth but not their blood money. This hadith teaches us that marriage is a partnership where both parties have equal rights over each other's possessions even after death.
