Inheritance between Muslims and Non-Muslims

SUMMARY: A Muslim cannot inherit from a non-Muslim, and vice versa.

Narrated Usama bin Zaid: the Prophet said, "A Muslim cannot be the heir of a disbeliever, nor can a disbeliever be the heir of a Muslim".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ، وَلاَ الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Islamic rulings regarding inheritance matters.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the Islamic ruling on inheritance between Muslims and non-Muslims. According to this hadith, a Muslim cannot be the heir of a disbeliever, nor can a disbeliever be the heir of a Muslim. This is because Islam does not allow for believers to benefit from those who do not believe in Allah or His Messenger. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that it is important for believers to stay away from those who do not believe in Allah or His Messenger, as they will lead them astray if they are too close with them. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to remember this ruling when dealing with inheritance matters so that their faith remains strong and intact.
