Does a Christian or Jewish wife inherit from her Muslim husband?
A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever, nor does a disbeliever inherit from a Muslim." Therefore, a Jewish or Christian wife does not inherit from her Muslim husband if he dies.
