Question
A woman married during her Iddat, two months after the death of her husband. She also stole a considerable amount of money from the estate. Does she still inherit?
Answer
Since the evil woman was still in her husband's nikah at the time of his death, she inherits in his estate. What she stole from her deceased husband's estate is a major sin. If the heirs are aware, they should deduct the amount she had stolen from her share of inheritance.
