Does a child, who was taken in and raised by his paternal uncle after being found by him in the street, inherit from that uncle?

The child mentioned does not inherit from the deceased person who raised him because the condition for inheritance, "kinship," is absent. The fact that the deceased has no children or a wife does not mean there are no other heirs. His estate is divided among his legal heirs, who include fifteen categories of men and ten categories of women.
