Does a deceased wife, who has children and a husband, inherit from her living parents' estate?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman who dies before her living parents does not inherit from them, because the deceased does not inherit from the living; rather, the living inherits from the deceased. Her parents will inherit from her estate: her father gets one-sixth and her mother gets one-sixth if she had children. She has no share in their inheritance due to her death before them.
