Is the weapon of a deceased person part of the inheritance or not?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the deceased lawfully owned the weapon during his lifetime, it belongs to his heirs like all his other possessions, based on the Almighty's saying: "For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much – a legal share." However, if the ownership was unlawful, then it does not become his property and is not permissible for his heirs; it must be returned to the relevant authorities in the state.
