Question
A male Muslim convert died leaving behind a Muslim wife with no children. He has non-Muslim children from a previous marriage. How should his estate be distributed?
Answer
There are no inheritance ties between Muslims and non-Muslims. The deceased's non-Muslim children and other relatives do not inherit in his estate. Since his only Muslim heir is his wife, she inherits all his assets.
